  I would like to transfer contents from my 4 websites geochembio.com, metapathogen.com, metaprimate.com and metamicrobe.com on wordpress development platform.
  I’m hosting on bluehost.
  I’m overwhelmed with information and don’t know with where to start.
  Can wordpress engineers do it for me and how much it’ll cost?
  Best,
  Nemose

  I don’t believe there’s a Paid Transfer In option, but any competent WP consultant can do this for you. It shouldn’t cost more than $100 really, unless you want the actual design to transfer too, which isn’t possible but can often be faked with a lot of work.

  To do it yourself, just go to the dashboard of each of those blogs one at a time: Dashboard->Tools->Export and export all the contents. Then on the new WP.com blog go to the dashboard and hit Tools->I,mport and it should import everything smoothly.

  Bluehost has WP platform. I don’t want to host websites on WP blog, I’d like to use WP framework to continue developing contents on those domains. Probably I also need to ask Bluehost help desk how to get around to it.
  I envision a lot of work. It’s why I delayed it but maintaining all this HTML is becoming more and more labor and time consuming
