  I have followed the steps to import from Posterous but my new WordPress blog still does not show any of the imported content…

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

  Thanks for this reply, but it’s not the same issue:
  my downloaded zip archive from Posterous did extract successfully and then seemed to upload to WordPress successfully, i.e. 100% complete and then I hit the “submit” button” and receive an notification saying it was successful.

  Unfortunately when I log in to the blog there is no content at all. The up loaded archive isn’t there.

  Hi there, I don’t see any in-progress uploads or upload attempts. How big is your import file?

  I’m going to send you an email so you can send me your export file for testing – please look out for it.

  Hi there, just wanted to check in and make sure you received my email sent the other day. Just a heads-up that Posterous is shutting down its exports at the end of today, so it would be good to confirm that your export file is working. :-)
