 * Hi,
 * So the web developer who I paid – has failed hugely in not only my blog design,
   but in exporting the contents of my blog from my wordpress.com to wordpress.org
   site.
 * Is there any way that wordpress/someone can help me with this issue?
 * The problems are:
 * – I have nearly 190 posts in total – he has not copied all of them, only just
   over 90 – and despite me paying him, I have had to manually copy and paste each
   post individually to finish HIS job.
 * – When he was copying everything over I don’t think he was doing it correctly,
   because the slideshows and images I had were all appearing messed up and merged
   together – so there was a significant problem with how they were transferred 
   over. I want someone to help me with this, so that this is no longer a problem.
 * Can you tell me if this is possible, and if not, can you advise me who best to
   go to?
 * Thank you.
 * Krystal

 * Moving from wordpress.com to wordpress.org (self-hosted WprdPress site), this
   is the right guide to follow:

 * If you can’t do the work yourself, you have the option of engaging a professional
   to assist you to fix it correctly. If you want to follow that option and hire
   someone for this, then please try one of these sites:
