  As far as I can tell, you’ve only been here a month and there are no Google cached entries for the blog at ministerbruce.wordpress.com

  Are you talking about the blog linked to your username or a different blog?

  Have you tried looking in your trash folder to see if they are there?

  Sorry, I’ am so fustrated and busy. I don’t have it here at work, if I find it, I’ll send it, but will reply from home, if that is where I find it.

  Thank you, for putting up with me, I’ am a work, still under construction and I missed the mark with you all, today, not one of my better days, you didn’t deserve my replies, I responded, wrongly.

  Thank you for your time.

  @ministerbruce
  The URL for the blog in question is key to sorting any issue here on this support forum. Without it we are “dead in the water”, so to speak.

  thetruthinlove2.spaces.live.com/blog

  The migration to WordPress.com is permanent because live spaces is closing forever. That means all content must be exported out of live spaces using the isnstructions found on theat forum, and imported into a wordpress.com blog.

  The support page dedicated to the upgrade process here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/upgrading-from-windows-live-spaces/

  Please note that the following items do *NOT* come over in the import process:

  Photos that were in albums but not within posts
  Photos that weren’t used in posts are not part of the import process because they aren’t actually part of the Windows Live Spaces blog. They are part of the Photos or Skydrive service. The photo albums from Skydrive are always accessible and aren’t going anywhere. Anyone can find them at http://photos.live.com/.

  Modules

  Lists
  Please see here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/live-spaces-retrieving-your-lists?replies=1

  Pending/draft posts
  Right now, the draft posts are trapped in limbo and WordPress.com Staff are communicating with Live Spaces about them.

  If you have any trouble with the import of your data contact Staff directly using this link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  Also note that wordpress.com does no allow duplcate content blogs. If your live space and blogspot blogs do contain duplicate content then you will need to read this — > duplicate content Google

  In the rare cases in which Google perceives that duplicate content may be shown with intent to manipulate our rankings and deceive our users, we’ll also make appropriate adjustments in the indexing and ranking of the sites involved. As a result, the ranking of the site may suffer, or the site might be removed entirely from the Google index, in which case it will no longer appear in search results. http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66359

  What was the date that Live Spaces was to shut down? Did he get his content migrated?

  ministerbruce, it looks like there was a glitch on Microsoft’s end.

  I have just sent an email to you. Please reply as soon as you can.

  Missed that line – time to clean glasses –

  I remember that Live Spaces had a shutdown date when things were just going away – I transferred my main site here in the middle of the first wave of panic transfers and my transfer was around 5 months ago so this would be about the 6 month point of the Spaces shutdown.

  @auxclass, announced at end of September, so end of March would be 6 months, no?

  That sounds about right, if they don’t push back the date, which Microsoft has a tendency to do.
