One word of advice – if you don’t make your ‘temporary’ wordpress.com blog private, you can tick a box when you bring the WordPress export over to your self-hosted blog, to download and re-upload attachments, saving you that step.

Since it’s only going to be around for a few minutes, there’s not much chance of someone finding the temporary one!

Thanks for the post though, very helpful and got my old Posterous posts onto my blog in no time…

I was able to import but the links don’t work. I get a URL not found. Can you tell me how you fixed it please?

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks

“I re-uploaded and re-linked the few images in my posts, because they pointed to WordPress.com after the import, but I didn’t plan to keep the private WordPress.com blog around.”

In my case, of 830 photos imported, 695 did not get attached and still point to the wordpress.com site. Still looking for a viable solution.
