  I am trying to move articles from one blog site to another on my wordpress account. I created a new blog site to cater to a different genre of articles. Some of them are on my other site and I’d like to move them to the new one with the comments, etc

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

  Hey mnagawa!

  I found a similar response to your situation here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/moving-specific-posts-from-one-blog-to-another?replies=2

  To quote @thesacredpath:

  Probably the best way to do this would be to create a new category and assign that category to the posts you want to move. Then during the export process, you can specify to move only the posts in that particular category. After you get them moved over, you can delete that temporary category on the new site. During the import, make sure and select to have wordpress copy over the images as well.

  On the existing site, you can then filter the posts list by that category and that will make it easier to delete those posts.
