  I would like to switch over to WordPress from tumblr. If I imported my tumblr posts, and I delete my tumblr, will all the imported posts be gone?

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

  Hi there,

  You will not need to keep your Tumblr account active once you have fully completed your import.

  Before you cancel your Tumblr account however you should make sure that not only have all of your posts come over, but so too have any images, etc. You can check this once the import has been completed by going through your posts and making sure the posts have all of your images. Then you might want to try right-clicking on some of the images and selecting “View Image” and making sure that the address is for your WordPress.com rather than your old Tumblr one!

  Once you’re sure that everything has been moved over successfully you can go ahead and cancel your Tumblr account.

  No. You imported copies of posts only.

  Sorry about the overlap there.
