  I am trying to export my wordpress.com blog to XML so that I can put it on a different URL. The problem I encountered is that under “Tools” the only option there is “Gears” but no “Import” or “Export” option. Can you please help?

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

  In the left hand navigation under “tools” will be

  Tools
  Import
  Export

  Thanks for the response. That is where I’m looking, but the latter two items are not there.

  What is the URL of the blog?

  Gears would be on the Tools > tools.

  Are you signed in as an administrator?

  The URL is http://www.alternativemarkets.wordpress.com

  I assume I am signed in on as an admin? I set up the blog initially.

  Right, I see the Tools > tools. I just don’t see the Export/Import option.
