  I’m moving my Blogger blog of the same name (alasmydear) over to WordPress. It’s my personal blog, so I password-pretected it.

  I moved all 227 posts over very easily using the import function. However all of my video clips (>60 of them) aren’t showing up on WordPress. These are clips I uploaded directly onto Blogger itself, they are not hosted on an external site like YouTube or Vimeo.

  Is there a way to fix this without going through every post and uploading every video again?

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

  You will need to buy the Video Press upgrade to host the videos on your site or you will need to host the videos on a 3rd party site like “YouTube” “Vimeo” etc…

  VideoPress
  The VideoPress upgrade allows you to host and play beautiful HD video right from your WordPress.com blog. VideoPress supports many filetypes and codecs.

  Your blog comes with 3 gigabytes of space. To get even more room to upload videos and other media, purchase the Space Upgrade.

  Edit: If you decide to buy the Video Press upgrade you might be able to import the videos over to your wordpress.com blog you’re welcome to check with staff for a second opinion http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  As you have imported content from Blogger I advise you to go here > Setting. > Writing and checkmark this:
  ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
  Then scroll down and click “Save Changes”
