Knol authors are bit upset with Google’s decision to shut their knol shop by May 2012.
The decision of the Giant Search Engine company‘s notification pained the knol authors, whose sweat and time poured over to knol pages over the years. Though there are some options given to migrate their knols to another platform called WordPress.com, unfortunately the migration process to WordPress is not functioning.. And many got panic and started migrating their knols manually.
The processed I did to migrate my knols to my blogger pages manually is by selecting the content copy and paste it in my blog page. Amazingly its working well so far.
Though it’s a tedious job authors have to do this consistently till Google fix the problem.
I wish all my fellow authors and colleagues at knol pages “A Happy Migration Time”
Best Regards

I thank all Google executives and fellow authors for this positive result of mine. I urge all knol authors to migrate to appropriate platforms and continue their writing endeavors. Keep us informed of your new locations through Google+, Twitter or other appropriate ways. Use #Knol so that we can locate you easily.
