 * wordpres.org ? I thought “they” only host the source of wordpress. Did you move
   your blog from wordpress.com to you own site ? If so check .htaccess and wp_options
   in the database. If not please be more clear what you did 🙂
    cheers

 * thanks tagging
 * yes, moved from eminiwizard/wordpress.com to eminiwizard.com
 * a friend installed wordpress platform (into self hosted 1 and 1)for me
 * files were transferred from the wordpress.com site and now i can access and edit
   those posts.
 * I cannot write any new posts, as the computer locks up when I click the “write
   new post” function. I have to alt/control/ delete
 * I will check your suggestion, thank you

 * Being older and technically challenged, I asked my daughter for advice since 
   I still haven’t made any progress.
 * She suggested I try **mozilla firefox** as my browser. I was using IE6. First
   try I was able to write. Although a “scripts” error comes up, it will still allow
   me to write.
 * Progress!
 * Two steps forward, one back. Seems to be the way life works.
 * Hope this helps others that are having a similar problem.

 * i think i found the solution, i had tested it and it works faster now
 * if successfully load the write a post page after a long of freezes, press the‘
   custom field’ option down there
 * and for me, a long list pops up,
 * i don’t know much about writing a script but i sit there and keep on deleting
   those custom fields, some few hundreds of them because i imported my old posts
   from the previous box.
 * and after that, everything is fast again!
 * happy trying.
 * please tell me if this method works for you!

 * Thanks for your post Peanut.
 * I had a friend take a look, and he found a few bugs from the wordpress.com import.
   Works fine now on IE6 as well.
 * Thanks again for your assistance.
