  Moved my blog from wordpress.com to a self-hosted platform. Too technical for me with plugins, updates, and all. Would like to move back. What can I do, and can I purchase your transfer help like I did when I moved away?

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

  Hi!

  We don’t provide transfer support for moving a blog from a self-hosted site back to WordPress.com. However, we do have some instructions here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-from-wordpress-org

  It looks like you already have a WordPress.com site setup so option #1 in those instructions doesn’t really apply. You should just be able to export your site as described here:

  Export Your Website’s Content

  Then, you can import it into your WordPress.com site as described here:

  Import a Website

  Don’t worry – it won’t duplicate any pages you already have on your site. It will just bring over the newer items you’ve published on your self-hosted site, but not your WordPress.com site.

  Once we get the content straightened out, we can work on your subscribers and moving them back over!

  Also, important, it looks like your domain tcwilliamsoncommentary.com expired as shown here:

  Please renew that as soon as possible to avoid paying a late payment!

  No problem! Let me know if you have any trouble with the content. Once you get that sorted out, just reply back here, and I can move your subscribers for you.
