Converting a Standalone page to a Blog

[aeryn]

Hi. With the new pricing structure I’m wondering if I can convert one of my standalone pages into a blog.

I have Premium and I can have 5 blogs now. I want to convert a standalone page into a blog. I have set up a domain name already and would rather not start from scratch. Does Micro.blog treat these differently?

Or can I simply start writing posts on the page? And it will all just work?

Thanks

I’ve expanded this question into a new post here (because it’s led to whole bunch of questions for me):

Additional Blogs (Premium): Request for Documentation

Hello. I have lots of questions about the additional blogs I can add to my Premium account. I will write a couple here, but since I have these questions, I am reluctant to begin using the features until I have a better understanding. Can I convert an existing Single Page site into a Blog? I created a brand new Blog- social.micro.blog as a test, and it seems like my new blog is posting to the timeline as my Main Account blog. https://aeryn.me/categories/moments/feed.json https://social.…

I don’t think there’s a way for us to do this ourselves via the user interface, unfortunately. But @manton might be able to do it manually if you email help@micro.blog. This is just me guessing, though.

Yep, I can manually update any single-page sites to full blogs if you send me an email. I’m going to be adding an interface so you can convert these yourself soon. (Probably today!)

Ok. Sounds good. Thank you both

I’ve just added a link so you can upgrade any single-page site to a full blog. Click on Posts, make sure your single-page site is selected in the “…” menu, then you should see a “convert to full blog” link. (If you already have 5 blogs, the link won’t show up.)
