HowTo: Moving from Bilbo Blogging to Blogilo

This is a short one. Bilbo Blogger was an outside-of-KDE blogging app which was recently incorporated into KDE Proper, and with that came a new name to avoid naming issues: Blogilo. 'Blogilo' is Esperanto, and Esperanto is English for 'Make up words and call it a language' or something ;)

To set up your Blogilo app with the same settings as the Bilbo app had, copy the bilbo.db file that stores your username, blog name, and password and put it at the blogilo.db location:

First, of course, a backup of blogilo.db:

cp .kde/share/apps/blogilo/blogilo.db .kde/share/apps/blogilo/blogilo.db.BAK

And then we copy the Bilbo file to where Blogilo can access it:

cp .kde/share/apps/bilbo/bilbo.db .kde/share/apps/blogilo/blogilo.db

Start your Blogilo and all should be well! It was for me, anyway.
