  When I am make import from livejournal.com then I have only text from livejournal without video.

  Please help me make correct import from livejournal.com embed the media content from a URL directly onto the page. For example: links to Flickr and YouTube.

  It looks like LiveJournal uses a different embed format than we do.

  Videos from YouTube will need to be embedded like this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  Images will need to be added like this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/

  We can’t allow iFrames directly, but when posting it, we do strip the code down to what we use (which is just the video’s URL). Unfortunately, this does not happen while importing.

  But I have found other problem :
  Comments aren’t imported.
  But at import there is an inscription that comments are imported successfully.
