I need to copy all the text/comments off my blog (not ready to delete the blog yet, but eventually). I did the backup download as described in the backup help topic, but I get a bunch of code with clickable links back to what looks like each post, but with no actual text in the download. Do I have to just cut and paste?

Book proposal has been accepted and I want to use some of the blog text in the book. Want to save the comments/emails to contact readers.

Help? Thanks.
