  Please stop typing in all capital letters – SHOUTING! is offensive. We are Volunteers and we aim to please but we will not tolerate rudeness. Shouting can result in us choosing not to answer your questions at all.

  If you are a Windows Live Spaces there are sticky posts at the head of this forum for you to read. Please see this post at the top of the forum https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/did-you-just-move-here-from-live-spaces-welcome?replies=1

  If you are you experiencing trouble using WordPress.com please take a look at our support page dedicated to the upgrade process here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/upgrading-from-windows-live-spaces/

  Please note that the following items do *NOT* come over in the import process:

  Photos that were in albums but not within posts
  Photos that weren’t used in posts are not part of the import process because they aren’t actually part of the Windows Live Spaces blog. They are part of the Photos or Skydrive service. The photo albums from Skydrive are always accessible and aren’t going anywhere. Anyone can find them at http://photos.live.com/.

  Lists

  Pending/draft posts
  Right now, the draft posts are trapped in limbo and WordPress.com Staff are communicating with Live Spaces about them.

  The migration to WordPress.com is permanent. If you have any trouble with it contact Staff directly using this link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  1. We don’t know what your problem is.
  2. It seems you have a problem.
  3. We (forum members/other bloggers) probably can’t help you.

  Contact the Staff. Hope is not lost to recover your pics…

  Your photo albums were not imported. WordPress.com is a blogging platform, and your blog was imported.

  If you want to move your photo albums off Windows Live Spaces, move them to Flickr or some similar photo-hosting site.
