Moving from Listed

If your blog is on Listed, you can bring it to noted.do in a few minutes and keep writing in Standard Notes exactly as you do now. Your posts keep their dates, your pictures come with them, and the options you put at the top of a note work the same way.

Start your blog · How publishing works

What comes with you

• Your posts. Every post in your Listed feed is imported with its original date.
• Your pictures. Pictures in those posts are copied here, so nothing points back at the old address.
• Your note options. The block at the top of a note uses the same keys: page, pinned, hidden, unlisted, canonical, custom_path, desc, image_url and the rest. See the formatting guide.
• Your CSS theme. A metatype: css note styles your blog here too, once your blog has its own look switched on, and blog pages keep the class names Listed themes use.
• Quiet arrival. Imported posts are old news, so nobody is emailed or notified about them.

What you set up again

• The plugin. noted.do has its own Standard Notes plugin. Install it once and paste your token; the guide has pictures.
• Your subscribers. Readers’ email addresses aren’t in a feed, so they can’t be imported. Tell them where you’ve gone in a last post at your old address; they can subscribe here by email, by RSS, or by following your blog from Mastodon.
• Old links. Addresses at your old blog don’t forward here. If you used your own domain, point it at your new blog and your readers’ links keep their domain. Your own domain is one of the extras on a plan.
• Editing an imported post. An imported post isn’t tied to its note. To change one, publish its note with the plugin and delete the imported copy from your post list.

How to move

1. Start a blog. Pick a username. There is no email or password to give: you get a token to publish with and a recovery code. Keep both.
2. Import. On your account page, open Account, find Import posts, paste your Listed address (like https://listed.to/@yourname) and press Import posts. Running it again skips what is already here.
3. Install the plugin in Standard Notes and paste your token.
4. Check your blog, then publish a short goodbye at your old address with the new one in it.

What you get here

• Write anywhere. Publish from Standard Notes, or write on the site itself from any browser, including your phone.
• Scheduling and drafts. Give a post a future date and it goes out by itself. Every post has a private link you can share before it is public.
• Readers your way. Email subscriptions, RSS, and a fediverse address for every blog, so people can follow from Mastodon.
• Your look. Themes, light and dark, and pages in your blog’s menu. Your own colors, fonts and CSS are there too; some of these are plan extras.
• Your copy. Download everything you’ve published at any time. Earlier versions of each post are kept, so a mistake can be undone.
• No account to leak. No email, no password, no tracking scripts. Your notes stay encrypted in Standard Notes; only what you publish is sent here.

A blog is free. Plans add extras such as your own domain and fonts, and help pay for the server.
