 * I am moving my blog from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. In wp.com I have the
   blog pointed to a domain and want to keep it that way until my wp.org blog is
   ready, so I’m putting it together on a localhost.
 * If there are any entries on my localhost wp.org blog, can I upload those when
   I upload the localhost theme to wp.org? The export from wp.com loses all links,
   so I want to repair them on the localhost if this is possible.
 * Thanks for any help you can give me.

 * I thought I’d bump this up…
 * I think I know how to upload from my laptop to my host, but I’m wondering just
   what I can upload.
 * If I’m customizing my theme, installing my old posts and pages, adding the links
   and photos back and installing plugins, will all this upload or should I wait
   until it’s on the host until I do this? I’d rather do as much before uploading
   as possible.
 * Thanks.
