 * I had some trouble setting up my hosting to have 2 domains and wp on each. I 
   had to uninstall and re-do. I downloaded an xml file of the website i had already
   created. Well, when I imported it after setting things up correctly, the information
   is there, but all of the hard work – theme selection, widgets, etx – aren’t.
 * Did I do something wrong? I used the wordpress importer.

 * No – you didn’t do anything wrong. The importer only imports your posts and page
   content – not your themes, plugins or widgets.
