  I imported an xml file with 423 posts about 10 hours ago. Everything seems to have come in, but my site won’t load. http://stepiphany.com. Any ideas? Did something get messed up? I don’t know where to begin looking for problems. Or, is it maybe a timing issue?

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

  Your site loads just fine for me however none of the images are loading, and that is due to the domain mapping. Once the domain name is mapped to your blog here, the self-hosted site is inaccessible via the web, so the images cannot be pulled from that site for display in your blog here.

  You will have to take all the images you had there (you should be able to get to them via your cPanel) and move them over here. You will then have to either correct all the URL’s in the posts or delete and reinsert the images.

  Thanks. I realized later that my local server was trying to map to a locally hosted site with the same name. Oops! My pictures are on my local hosted server that crashed last week. I’m having to wait patiently for my personal IT guy to flip the switch, but he’s buried under “for pay” work instead. I’m just happy the import was successful for the most part.
