  I’m trying to migrate my blog posts from my self-hosted wordpress.org blog to a new wordpress.com blog. I do not see the tools menu when signed in to the wordpress.com site, thus I cannot do the import. Is this a premium feature?

  WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and navigate to Tools.

  Oops! That’s the export page link. Here’s the import page link

  I’m having the same problem but am signed in as an admin already – any idea why this wouldn’t show?
