  If possible, would like the import to all go https://spiritofcamelot.wordpress.com/spiritofwriting-backup/
  If not that’s cool to. The blog to import is spiritofwriting.
  Thanks.

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

  Hi there,

  I’ve double checked to confirm your import is still queued. It didn’t cancel. But please do reconnect to your Tumblr account if you’ve disconnected it, as that could be preventing it from starting.

  We’re processing quite a few imports from Tumblr at the moment, which is causing a backlog of imports in our system. While it may look like your import failed, it’s just in line for processing, and luckily it’s still in the queue. At this point I’m not able to give an estimate on how long it might take to catch up with the backlog, though.

  These posts can only import to the main posts feed on your WordPress.com site, though. If you want to dedicate a specific page on your site to the Tumblr posts, you can use a category page for that – you’ll need to add a category to the posts after they’ve imported – but that won’t prevent them from showing in the main posts feed with any WordPress.com posts you publish as well.

  Thanks so much for the quick feedback. I can be patient.

  Just to check, if I restarted my computer, that doesn’t interrupt the process and kick my import out of the queue, correct?

  Hi there, it won’t. You can close your computer and the import will still continue. :)
