 * I received this error message when importing posts, settings, etc. from my wordpress.
   com blog.
 * What is this about? How can I transfer remaining posts from wordpress.com to 
   new website on wordpress.org?
 * Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 42205184) (tried to allocate 11392 bytes)
   in /home/joann66/public_html/wp-admin/includes/image.php on line 147

 * you or your host need to bump php memory to 48M or higher
 * or try this code in your `wp-config.php` at top
    `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '
   64M');`
 * make sure you don’t introduce any spaces or blank lines

 * Thanks Samboll but hostgator has already increased to 64M in the php.ini file.

 * I resolved this same issue: after brousing for export file, skip the “download
   attachments” option. All my posts were transferred with images, comments, etc.
   and in chronological order. YEA!!!
