 * I’m using the free blog at wordpress.com. I wanted to split my blog up, and put
   a small subset into a new url.
 * The export at wordpress.com is easy enough. Chose a date range, everything else
   at default. I get an xml.
 * I import into an empty site. here are the errors:
    - Gallery media is doubled – 2 copies of every pic
    - Gallery media does NOT keep gallery order, captions, or titles – they all 
      get defaulted
    - Featured image settings are not restored
 * These problems could not be solved by wordpress.com support even after 2 months.
   Has anyone ever used the import successfully?

 * it’s no good, if I get a post from say Jan but pics are from Dec, then an export
   of Jan all items won’t get the pics
 * the xml looks good for the pic export, but the title etc are all ignored.
 * it seems this feature wasn’t tested at all, others have the same issue but nobody
   ever said they got it working.

 * I found about a dozen posts with the double import spanning up to about a year
   ago. I doubt it will be fixed. It’s pretty pathetic when you can’t even backup
   and restore properly from the same version of the software.

 * Wrong forum, try [http://en.forums.wordpress.com/](http://en.forums.wordpress.com/)
 * wordpress.com and wordpress.org are not the same
