 * devils advocate,
 * Did you have any luck with this?
 * I want to do something similar but don’t see an option on the WordPress admin-
   panel IMPORT tab for importing from another WordPress blog.
 * If I could do this, it would save me a ton of, seemingly, unnecessary work.
 * I’ll try to check out the helpful links posted by podz but would appreciate a
   followup post if you figured some things out.
 * One thing I’m concerned about is losing comments, which seems to have been a 
   problem with some others who have used WordPress’s import function….

 * I did the database export and re-import a while ago for about four blogs – this
   worked perfectly.
 * Takes a little more knowledge than just importing via the web – but //everything//
   comes across cleanly.

 * I installed the plugin for importing my blogs from external servers (blogger,
   wordpress.com, etc) to my own server with wordpress but it’s not working. It 
   says that the CURL isn’t installed. I spoke to my web admin guy who installed
   Fantastico so I could install WordPress for me and he reinstalled CURL as it 
   should have been there – he sent me the logs showing it was installed. But still
   I can’t get that plug in to work and it still says the same thing. So, where 
   to next?

 * It’s a shame that a plugin allowing a user to import, via the web, past posts
   from Blogger and WordPress.com accounts exists, but there can’t be a similarly
   simple way to move posts from one personal wordpress blog to another.

 * Bless you, HandySolo. Now if only I had a time machine….
 * Apparently my search-fu is VERY weak.
 * At least now I’ll know what to do if it comes up again for me or any of my friends.
 * Thank you.
