Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Twitter discussion and the July 3 blog summary. Investigate the two questions for WordPress.com and Tumblr.com: whether a complete site export is available in XML or JSON, and whether redirects support moving to another service. Done would require a documented comparison that supports hosting recommendations, but the issue does not define a specific output location or format.

Description

I posted two questions on Twitter, summarized them on my blog, and thought it would be a good idea to post them here as well, to provide a place for a more detailed examination.

Questions about wordpress.com and tumblr.com --

  1. Can you download your entire site in an open format (XML or JSON)?

  2. Can you redirect your site to a new service if you decide to move?

I want to be able to recommend hosting services.
