  I am trying to import a series of blog posts from another blog of mine (wordpress.org), and am having a lot of trouble. The only thing I can get to import are the “tags” and the “category”. The posts themselves are not importing. The very first time I imported, I was able to get the posts to import, but they were out of order (going from oldest to newest, rather than vice-versa). So I deleted everything and tried to start over, but every time I try to import it now, I can only import the tags and category. So my problem is really two-fold: 1. I need to get the actual blog posts to import from wordpress.org, and 2. I need the posts to go in the correct order: from newest to oldest. Will someone please help me?

  Thank you!!

  Hi @milesfromperfect, I see that your previously imported posts have been placed into Trash. Can you please empty the Trash and try to import your file again, and let me know if it works for you?

  also can you maybe tell me what other themes allow you to use your own header image? so far I only found one: Chateau. Am I missing something?

  There are many themes that support a custom header, you can find the full list here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/custom-header-image/#supported-themes
