Why aren't my posts showing up when I import from typepad?

  I’ve followed the instructions on Typepad and WordPress and exported content from an old blog and imported onto WordPress, and gotten a confirmation email that the import was successful, but there is still nothing showing up on the WP blog. It still says I only have 11 posts on the blog but many more should have been imported from the old site. Any insight?

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

  Would you please try the import one more time?

  It won’t duplicate anything and will probably pick up what it missed.

  I’ve tried re-importing, clearing cache, etc. and nothing is showing up—still at 11 posts.

  Ok, I’d like to try this import for you to see how it goes. As you know, why you start the import, it asks which author to assign to which user. Would you please give me a run-down of how you want that?

  Hi, sorry for the late reply—the author should be “smithsonian20” for all posts.

  Ok, the import is processing again.

  You should receive an email when it finishes within the next 24 hours.
