  I’m trying to export my wordpress.com site to start a wordpress.org site and I’m not able to export my existing blog. When I select Tools->Export, I am taken to a page that says:

  Goshdarnit!

  Something has gone wrong with our servers. It’s probably Matt’s fault.

  We’ve just been notified of the problem.

  Hopefully this should be fixed ASAP, so kindly reload in a minute and things should be back to normal.

  I tried exporting the data three times last night (8 hours ago) and twice this morning and have got the same message every time. Could somebody please look into this?

  PS: I was able to successfully export another (smaller) wordpress.com blog without issue today.

  Thanks,
  Chris

  We were able to fix the error that was causing the issue earlier.

  Can you try exporting again and let us know how that works for you?
