    Can I combine the media libraries for my various blogs? I am moving my one blog and need to add all the photo galleries, and I’d rather not have to re-upload them all.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    If you move your blog using the Export/Import tools it will also move your media files, so if you import posts into an existing blog it will also add the media files attached to those posts. The only media that will possibly not be moved are unattached images, like images you uploaded for custom headers or as featured images but were never physically inserted into a post.

    Note that media files take a little longer to transfer than regular content, so make very sure all your images have been added to the other library before you start deleting them from the original one.
