  I wanted to use this website to upload pictures. MySpace has changed to Worldpress.com but I don’t care about blogs and only want to use the site for photos. How does the transfer work? RB

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

  Photos that are not in blog posts aren’t transferred to WordPress.com. WP.com is just basically for blogging. If you want to host your pictures somewhere, I recommend Flickr.

  If you have photos or images that are inserted into the posts on your Windows Live Spaces blog, you should find them within the posts on your new WordPress.com site after the migration.

  Photos that are part of albums but not used in posts are not part of the upgrade process. Those images are still stored with Windows Live and you can find them by going to http://photos.live.com/ .

  You can add a link to your photo album if you use Windows Live Writer:
  http://windowslive.com/Connect/Post/32b3c013-072d-4970-a6a5-c6df69aa9076

  If you would like to begin posting your photos to WordPress.com, you can start doing so at any time. The process is a little bit different from what you might be used to, and you can read about our Gallery/Slideshow features here:
