  Hi:
  I tried to import my blogs from GoDaddy yesterday. I received and email saying all the imports had been successful, but nothing is showing up on my blogs?
  Thanks:
  Gary

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

  Hi Gary,

  Can you let me know what kind of blogs you had hosted on GoDaddy? Were they WordPress blogs or did you use a different blogging platform?

  Depending on what kind of blogs you had at GoDaddy, you’ll need to have a valid export file from each blog and use that to import the blog here at WordPress.com. We have more information about that here: Import

  I’d also be happy to take a closer look at the blogs where you had trouble with the imports. Can you give me the links to each of the blogs where this happened?

  Thanks! I restarted the imports for those four blogs, and it looks like the imports worked this time around. :) Can you take a look at each blog and let me know if you have any other concerns?

  Thanks, looks like everything is working properly. I do have a problem with the uncommoncommonsense blog.Somehow I have a black background in the text field and haven’t discovered how to change it.

  Here’s the Parament theme description http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/parament/
  It’s a dark theme so if you chnage to a light background here > Appearance > Background the fonts will not be visible.
