  Hello @johngraham2015!

  You asked your question a few weeks ago. Just checking in if you were able to get a copy of your blog from WordPress.com to on to Survive France.

  Thanks!

  Sorry about that @johngraham2015!

  Let’s get you back on track …

  WordPress has tools to allow you to export the content of your blog into an XML file. This file then gets imported to the new WordPress site.

  Have a look at these links:
  1. To export your site – https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
  2. To import your site – https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  Here is an article that pulls the two steps together – http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-move-your-blog-from-wordpress-com-to-wordpress-org/

  Hope this helps.
