Hi all,
I just did something like this recently and think I can explain it briefly.
It's a bit of work and I get some errors I do not understand, but it works.
Here's how I did it:
1. Make a complete export of the Wiki in the admin backend.
2. Extract the XAR you have.
3. Edit package.xml : remove all lines NOT referring to the Blog space.
4. Delete all folders except the Blog one.
5. Decide the spacenaam you would like to give it: I chose Blogboek (let's
call it that for the rest of this explanation).
6. Change the foldername to Blogboek.
7. Change all references to Blog in Blogboek. I did that by running a script
on the commandline (using Linux) that replaces .Blog by .Blogboek.
8. You should now have the package.xml containing the subscription of the
files in the Blogboek folder. Note that this also contains all the
Blog-posts that were in the Blog space.
9. To get the categories displayed properly, change line 113 in
CategoriesPanel.xml:
#getCategoriesHierarchy('Blogboek' $tree)
10. When ready, put everything in a zip and rename it to XAR. MAke sure the
folder and file are in the root of the zip, not in a folder (chack by view
it).
11. Now you can import the XAR in the Xwiki admin backend.
The only error I encounteres was a list of files named Blog.xxx.xxx that
were not imported.
It seems somehow there is metadata that knows the files came from the Blog
space.
The other files (Blogboek.xxx.xxx) are imported correctly, so the result was
what I wanted:
a seperate space with the complete Blog functionality, seperate from the
Xwiki core.
Note that Blog is in development and there are irritating bugs in the
editor.

I really hope a syntax 2 version will be in a coming Xwiki release using the
new editor.
Thank you all for your help, hope this is usefull!
