In dire need of assistance

    When I started my wordpress.com account, I had a blog that we then moved to self hosted. We are now trying to move it from self hosted back to wordpress.com.

    I have the wordpress.com account from previously, but cannot figure out how to import my blog back into wordpress.com.

    I have my own domain name and I have the exported blog and the wordpress.com account. I just can’t figure out how to get them all into the one place that I need.

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

    mangonedad.wordpress.com is no longer available.
    The authors have deleted this site.

    Apparently as a part of your move, you deleted the site on WPcom, but you’ve connected it to your domain name. In order to use your domain on WPcom, you’ll need to have an active WPcom website to connect it to. The underlying WPcom URL doesn’t matter.

    I’ve tagged this for Staff assistance, but in the meantime perhaps another WPcom volunteer can help with more info on how to proceed.

    Welcome back! As justjennifer mentioned, in order to import the content from your self-hosted site, you’ll need to have an empty WordPress.com site to import it to.

    Since you deleted your original blog, you just need to create a new one from here:
    https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?ref=calypso-sites

    then you can follow the following steps to import your site.

    Let me know if you have any questions about that!
