  I want to import a Posterous blog at 4thefuture.posterous.com into my WordPress blog davidreadsbooks.wordpress.com. I have used the import tool in the dashboard but after 24 hours none of the posts have been imported into WordPress.
  Blog url: http://davidreadsbooks.wordpress.com/

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

  It looks like your blog has 75 posts now. Were these imported, or pre-existing?

  timethief, thanks.

  macmanx, the 75 posts are pre-existing. None of the posts from Posterous have successfully been imported.

  Ok, I have reset your importer.

  Would you please try again and let us know how it goes?

  The second attempt at importing the posts from Posterous seems to have failed as well.

  Hm, that’s no good.

  I have reset your importer again.

  Would you please check with Posterous to make sure that nothing is blocking the export on their end?

  Thanks macmanx. I have sent an email to Posterous to see if the problem could be on their side.
