  Hi there. I’m new to wordpress.com, but I’ve searched the forums and FAQs and couldn’t find an answer to this.

  With wordpress.org, you can download a plugin that lets you batch change the category on a bunch of posts at once. I’ve imported all 80 or so posts from my old blog, and I’d love to categorize them… but I’d prefer to do them as a group rather than one by one.

  Am I out of luck?

  Unfortunately, I think you are out of luck. If you import posts with pre-existing categories it is supposed to keep them, but there’s very little in the way of batch processing at WP.com at all.

  Rats.

  Ugh, I don’t think I’m going to have the stomach to tag 80 posts by hand. They’ll just have to live as uncategorized . Sadface…
