Opera today announced it is shutting down My Opera on March 1, 2014. The whole service is going away, including the forum, blogging platform, and email components.
My Opera started as a support forum in 2001, but then in 2006 it grew into a full-fledged community site that let users do everything from writing blog posts to sharing photos. Opera says social media and blogging sites have since popped up with “more and better features than we could possibly maintain.”
Opera is thus giving its users four months to move to new services and to back up their blogs and photos. You can preserve all your content with two simple steps:
- Export your blog. The output file should work with WordPress, Squarespace, Typepad, Movable Type, Drupal, and many other weblog-hosting sites.
- Download all of your content. Opera has a guide to walk you through the steps.
