  My old blog from 2005-2007 is all downloaded onto my computer and I had help loading it up to another site I had. Now that I no longer own that business I need to move it from the dreamhosted site and onto a more appropriate forum, like wordpress, where my other work is.
  Here’s where the content needs to move away from:

  Hey there, Bonnie!

  When iWeb shut down quickly, it didn’t create lots of options or tools for exports/imports into other blogging platforms.

  Your iWeb download will require some conversion before it can be uploaded to WordPress.com.

  I did some research for you and have found this third-party converter:

  I suggest getting in touch with them and confirming that it will create a file for you that can be uploaded to a WordPress.com-hosted site (rather than a self-hosted WordPress.org site).

  Once you have that file, you can import to WordPress.com using these instructions:
