Consider this just a quick note to let you know that we've added a new service to our list of content imports – it's now easier than ever to move over blog entries that you've previously posted to Yahoo 360° to your Multiply site!
Update: Confused? Sorry! To try this out, click the Post link at the top of any page, followed by Blog. Underneath the regular compose entry box, you'll find a Yahoo 360° link (near the bottom of the page, where it says "Add Blog From"). Or, just click here.
I'm really interested in this new feature, and I thought that if I clicked the "our list of content imports" link it would take me to it, but it only loops me back to the main Multiply Blog page???
I've looked a bunch of places, and am having no luck finding a link to this tool elsewhere.
Thank you Mulitply for welcoming us Yahoo 360 folks with open arms. We are battered and bruised from the last few weeks there and its been pleasant coming to a place that knows what customer service is about. In fact Im actually amazed that you noticed all of us. This bunch of people created a wonderful community there on 360. We have laughed and cried thru many things together and we all wondered just where Yahoo was going with this mess and what would happen to us too. While Ive stumbled around here a bit trying to figure things out I like that there is so much help around too. I may have missed it so please forgive me but what Id really like to see is a tutorial. ... a step by step with everything on here to help folks make the most of your product. I am coaching folks on how to do things as many are now with all our friends but there still are things I dont know how to do. Some Ive researched on here and couldnt find answers for. It could be just me ...but I think a step by step tutorial for beginners would be an awesome thing. Not everyone is familiar with computers and blogging and how it all operates. Something like this would make it ez for others who come here to use your product. Hugs and many thank you's tho for being so wonderful to our groups here. AWESOME AAAA+++++ SERVICE!!

I have re-imported my blogs....and there seems to be a problem with words or phrases that are in quotation marks being distorted with strange symbols and letters. I see you got the apostrophe thing and uTube worked out....great work!!!
My blogs are all poetry and not time sensitive at all...in fact they are from anywhere from 5 minutes ago to 33 years ago...rather than join the deluge, I will bring them slowly...discovery is so much fun...I'm enjoying your product very much.
Thank you Multiply, I just used the import tool as a test and it worked perfectly for me. For anyone here who is wondering how to import from Yahoo! 360, please read my newest blog.
I managed to transport the blogs I really wanted with attached comments to Multiply last week. It was done one at a time, but I managed. This will be very useful tool for those who are in the process of moving their blogs now. For that, I thank you.
I'm thrilled that Multiply has welcomed us open arms. You've bent over backwards to help us through a very rough period in our lives.
Can you tell us how we do this? I am not finding anything to import them.
Thanks!
Click on the "Post" link in the top navigation bar (found on every page) and then click on "Blog" icon, which will take you to the blog compose page. On the bottom of this page there is a group of import links.
You will find the link for Yahoo 360 import there. Click on it and enter your yahoo id and password and submit the form.
I'm so happy about this but I have one little problem. My yahoo address ends in com.au rather then just .com so I can't enter my yahoo details. Is there at some point going to be an option for selecting the region for yahoo for all the people that don't live in America?
exactly!!!!! lol... yahoo done shot themselves in the foot by not keeping up to par on ther 360 (which was a very good blogging system) then coming out with that Mash mess! I already got a Myspace and Facebook accout. Oh well! Keep up the great work PLY!
Im am very please to be part of the Multiply family, I am sad to lose 360 but they should have listened to us old folk who dont like change unless we are forced into it and this time I am happy that I was......many warm hugs from Texas
Your import tool is very glitchy. It won't move all the blogs and the ones it does move it doubles, triples and even moves in quadruplets! Which means I have to delete the copies. And it would only move about 20 of my blogs total. I have 193 I'd like to move. What a hassle! Guess I'll have to move mine manually myself. Very disappointed in the tool. However, so far I am liking the site a lot! Yahoo dropped the ball..big time for a lot of us 360'ers.
I wonder if the amount of blog import is the issue? I only imported 2 blogs but then again others have had great success w/importing over a 100 @ a time. I am sure however that Multiply takes all of these things into account and will respond, unlike Yahoo!.
Thanks so much for the import tool! I was really dreading moving all my 360 entries over, but it was so simple and it worked wonderfully for me. I think I'm really gonna like it here at Multiply! This is already *WAY* better than 360! Yahoo just didn't seem to ever want to listen to any of our problems and actually do something to fix them. Thank you for taking all us Y360 refugees in with open arms!
My Yahoo address ends in uk rather than .com so for now this import tool won't work for me. Are there plans to integrate these other Yahoo addresses too? So far Multiply is so easy to use...thanks so much!
ARGHHHH! After I deleted over a 1000 blogs over the last couple months. ACK! Oh well! Glad you're saving other people! LOL! BUH-BYE, YAHOO 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have not made this facility available for those of us with yahoo.co.uk addresses, which is what my 360 account is. Why is this? And is there any chance you could include an import tool for yahoo UK addresses?
Just transfered my Blogs (thanks to Ronda's Blog - MWAHH Roo), BUT it wouldn't give me a List of ALL my Blogs - and I got only 37 on 360 in total!! So I did not choose all of them anyway (ticked it OFF) - and still didn't show me the OLDEST Blogs (#1 till 10 or so) from my 360 Blogs! ANYONE????
To jadeheart and bookworm - see rondamiller's Blog (see her post above!!)- helped me a lot!
If you go to "post" .. and choose post to your blog: then at the bottom of the compose page is options to cross-post and to add a blog there should be an option to add a blog from yahoo 360 (as well as blogger, livejournal, etc) click the box for yahoo360- you'll then be asked for you yahoo ID & password.. and then you pick/choose which blog entries to add/import.
it has some bugs in it.. i guess with not importing all your blogs? or only going so far back? dunno. I haven't needed to import/add from yahoo.
OH and- on some Blogs I noticed irrelevant SIGN's within my text , seems that there ae some letters/ or else get mixed up through transfer! I read above that someone else had same Problem -- HOW I solve it - beside editing it manually bit by bit?? THANK's Folks!
my friends in the uk still can't move their blogs with this app. they were wondering if there will be one or if you are working on a patch for this one.
ok after reading some of the posts I think I know why I cannot use the transfer tool...the default setting for I/D is set to < @yahoo.com > whereas mine is < @yahoo.co.uk > So what do I do to make a painless transfer..or do I have to copy/paste each one!! Sigh! (Maybe Multifly can change coding so we can use the " co.uk " prefix ) Would appreciate some feed back ...Thanks
Like some others on here, my email doesn't work on the import tool. Mine doesn't end in '@yahoo.com,' but '@sbcglobal.net.' Will something be done to remedy this? I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to lose all of my blogs!!!!!!
What i am wondering, puzzled even is that WHY does not one of my photo albums show up on Multiply anymore!!?? It is me bestest pics, you know... I have contacted the customer service in ere several times but but NO REPLY - not good!!!!!

I would just like to add my thanks to you. The customer service here is excellent!!! You listen and more importantly you ACT on our questions and keep us informed too.
it didn't work the first time, it only showed 5 from my yahoo 360 but when i tried it again, all posts showed. i might give time to it this weekend. i still need to sort out which to show for public and which for my old pals. thanks multiply!
This didn't work to well for me, now I have over 200 corrupted blogs to delete! Is there any way to delete them other than one by one, page by page? It took me an hour to delete 2 pages of blogs - I have 9 more pages to go.
For those who are having problems with the imports, all I can say is: please be patient. It's a new tool and the kinks are being worked out.
Also, bear in mind that for the import tool to work correctly, the site where the blogs are imported from should be reachable. Comments over at the Yahoo 360 product blog suggest sporadic problems with the blog sites, even when visited in the browser. If the site availability is problematic, it's likely that the import tool would have problems as well.
So, please be patient, and more importantly, give us specific information when you have problems.
When I first tried the import, I got maybe 30 entries to show as available for import. Only 5 made it. I have 296 blog entries total. I'll try again when yahoo seems to be behaving it's self a bit better - when ever that may be.
Sorry, I was a little upset when I posted my comment above. You're right, with all the problems going on over at 360 it's probably a glitch coming from the YAHELL side. One more reason to be here.
I have definitely found my new "home"!! With over 700 blog entries I will still be transferring the most important ones and printing or saving the rest elsewhere. This place is GREAT!! So easy to use, all the features of 360 plus more, no bugs to be found (as of yet), I really like it.
Thanks to ANGEL for finding this place!! It is good to be home.
Thank you !!! Thank You !! Thank You!! I just LOVE this site and want to thank you for welcoming us with open arms...you will get lots of Yahoo 360 refuges!!
Since we are being offered these cool tools to import some of our stuff from Yahoo what about a way to import data from a Yahoo Group. We just started a group here and would like to import the posts from our Yahoo group to the one here and delete the Yahoo group. Ideas?
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you so very much for the time and effort you’ve put into helping us (ex-Y360 bloggers) relocate. Your consideration and efforts are very much appreciated. You guys are truly awesome!!!
Blogging on Yahoo 360 has been more of a frustration lately for all of us rather than a real pleasure - especially when our blogging time is very limited. Thank you for offering this great tool.
Unfortunately, and maybe this is more an issue on the Yahoo side, since the blogs have gone crazy there, but this tool was only able to draw upon the blogs created in since June 2007, even though I have more blogs than that but still under 300 entries. Is there anyway to get the old ones?
Thank you for being so helpful to those of us migrating over from 360. It is really appreciated and hope Multiply as a community will benefit from all of us joining and bringing our great energy and community over here.
Thanks! This worked like a charm for me. Everything imported perfectly with one excepting - it's showing my oldest blogs as the newest. Not a big deal. I'm just happy have them here! Thanks again =)
i think that this site is the new yahoo , hoping it is , i loved yahoo 360 and really thought i would be their for the duration of my blogging life lol , paula xx
I'm so glad to be part of the Multiply family. Migrating my blogs with the new tool worked great. Thanks Multiply for listening to all of us moving over here from Yahoo 360. It's nice to get responses back from you...something we are not used to.
I'm with the 360* exodus saying hello Multiply and thanks. Great to see so many other 360* users here - hopefully they'll bring the wonderful community spirit that kept us all at 360*
I just wanted to say how easy it was to import my blogs over from yahoo 360 to Multiply! Though they were few, I was only with Yahoo for a 2 months, Im sure those who have multiple ones who plan on switching to this service will be very happy with this feature and the ease of use. Thanks!!
Oh how convenient! Thank you so much for making this transition easy. You have NO idea how many people from yahoo 360 are in tears thinking they would loose all their writings!
ok, so I did the import thing (VERY COOL by the way - yes there were some duplicates, but cleaned that up pretty quick, and still TONS faster than if I had tried to do this manually) - had to do the LIST a couple of times, because the list picked up different ones sometimes, but I think I got them all . . . so, here's MY question: some of the pictures that I had on the blogs did not come through . . . they are now squares with a red x in the corner . . . mostly happened on the older blogs --- is there any way to fix this?
so far iam impressed with this site. yahoo 360 just about put us all in the nut house with all the problems we've had there and lack of care yahoo gaves us, . but just one question multiply - wheres the backgrounds ? hummm
that was awesome, and the fact that i got to pick which blogs i wanted to import was also very cool. excellent job, now that there's talk of 360 closing i'm glad i wandered here!
Just want to add my thanks for your welcome here,i have found this site to be wonderful only glitch i had was my messages being sent to a friends email addy,but overall i love multiply,its fast,its friendly and loads better than 360,thank you again for making us feel so welcome here,you do act fast to any probs big hi5 to you all :)
Whether this feature is working or not, at least you at Multiply.com are being proactive in making it easier for former Yahoo 360 Loyalists to migrate over to this site. This type of user response and attention is very much appreciated and I hope you continue to be user-friendly.
You guys have been Stars at making us poor 360 refugees feel wanted. You've addressed our questions and concerns with immediate, personal attention, and basically just made us feel wanted. The import tool worked a treat, and have been having fun setting up camp here. Keep up the great work, and thanks for giving us a home. Big Love from Tokyo!
I have been told they are working on that. I am yahoo.ca. I was also told it wont be months or years like over at the "other place" it will be soon.. I am trying to be patient but with the way the darkside is over there losing blogs, comments, etc...getting a little weary. SO I am copying and pasting my favorite blogs.
Thank you guys this is a great to hear....... I already tried it,,, and I am found in trouble of getting my blog transferred more thn twice a time, now I want to delete them all and update it nicely... any solution???
Can you tell us how we do this? I am not finding anything to import them.
