How to export/import media & posts from self-hosted to wordpress.com
-
The self-hosted site is adagiojournal.com. Please point me to the procedure documentation instructing the steps to move all of posts and media.
I see lots of people having trouble, but have not found the actual documentation.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Many thanks for instant help. I stumbled because the import prompt says (approx.) “exported media files will be imported automatically”. Since I have no way to export the old media I thought I was stuck.
I have completed export/import from adagiojournal.com to adagiojournal.wordpress.com. The source blog/media shows some 236 files, the new imported blog/media shows some 30 files.
The links that I have audited all still work because the source blog is still alive.
Example orphaned media:
1. http://adagiojournal.com/wp-content/uploads/requirements.pdf
2. http://adagiojournal.com/wp-content/uploads/accomodation-plan.pdfDoes this mean that all files in that /uploads/ path have been orphaned? Is there an automated process to recover these to the new blog?

Sorry – I forgot to mention that I never saw the option that was supposed to appear after selecting the XML file for import:
“Download & import file attachments if you want to move your media files.”
Is this just operator error on my part?
