 * I have had my blog hosted on WordPress.com ([http://turtlestravel.wordpress.com](http://turtlestravel.wordpress.com))
   for years and wanted to move it to WordPress.org. I have followed all instructions
   as follows:
    1. Chose Bluehost as my server 2. Set up turtlestravel.com as my
   own domain name through them. 3. Installed a brand new installation of WordPress.
   org using their Site Builder automatic intstall 4. Logged into said WordPress.
   org dashboard and saw the “test” hello world post is there. 5. Chose Import from
   WordPress and selected the XML file on my computer (exported from WordPress.com
   via that Dashboard previously…size of file about 5 Mb) All the content seemed
   to be there in the directory in the Bluehost file manager. The only error of 
   the import said that 4 image files had Failed.
 * ISSUE: In WordPress, no Posts are visible.
    TRIED: Splitting XML File into smaller
   pieces…No luck.

 * Update: I ended up getting all of the posts, most of the comments, and some of
   the photos/media migrated over. Photos are displaying in posts, but they link
   back to the wordpress.com blog. I also lost all of the Authors of the various
   posts, though the users were carried over and recreated in wordpress.org’s new
   site [http://turtestravel.com](http://turtestravel.com)
