  Hi! I’m still on wp.COM and planing transition to wp.ORG very, very soon.

  This is now regarding wp.ORG:

  1. Since I do have wp.COM blog already, how to painlessly and smoothy transfer to wp.ORG all my content? I saw a guide online. Maybe some tips? ;)

  1. Is everything gonna be transferred, including comments, rates, categories, tags, links, media gallery, widgets used and their settings? (Some if it wouldn’t export-import even from wp.COM to wp.COM.)

  It says: “WordPress will then import each of the posts, comments, and categories contained in this file into your blog”. What about rates, tags, links, media gallery, widgets used and their settings?

  2. I have registered a domain and a host service. Haven’t downloaded wp.ORG software yet.

  Again, thanks a lot, my fellow bloggers! ;)
