 * Right after wordpress.COM offers an export?
 * Until then, you might try setting your wordpress.com site’s RSS to have a large
   number (admin, options, Reading, Syndication) and experiment with the wordpress.
   ORG rss import option.
 * Caveat to this is that it won’t get any comments you might have.

 * For me, importing posts worked fine, using the RSS importer. And the categories
   were preserved as well.
 * For comments I used [this](http://dudi.wordpress.com/2005/10/08/howto-migrate-comment-from-blogsome-to-wordpress/)
   import script. The weird thing is that, although comments got imported, the comment
   count still shows zero.
 * I’m posting the links for you to see
    [http://bdsays.wordpress.com](http://bdsays.wordpress.com)
   [http://bdsays.com/blog/](http://bdsays.com/blog/)
 * all the post in the hosted blog show zero comments even though they have comments
   in them. Weird eh?

   You can find howto show up comments at your blogs. Thats because this scripts
   only import name and content the comments.

 * Livejournal, dotclear, blogger, moveabletype, textpattern, rss…
 * I’ve tried importing the rss file that way but it only brings in 10. I tried 
   uploading 10 then deleting ten in the actual xml file as the wordpress doc suggested,
   but after the first ten, it wouldn’t upload any more.

 * andsoitislivenet: looks like you are using wordpress 2.0.2 / 2.0.3?
 * open wp-admin/import and you can find rss.php file. Open that file and edit them.
