   Hi Garnett,

   Your Wordpres site is not filling itself. If yo want articles from your old site to appear, you have to copy them into your new wordpress site.
   Go into the admin panel/writing/new post and copy into that new post what you want (USE TEXT INSERT to prevent garbage in your layout).

   No need to do that. You can go to the old site and under Tools, EXPORT an *.xml file to your hard drive. This contains all your pages, posts, comments and most of your plugin settings. Categories should normally migrate as well, but warning you, sometimes they don't.

   Then in the new blog, go to Tools, and IMPORT, it will give you a chance to upload the *.xml file from your hard drive and it will ask you if you want to import file attachments. Always say "yes" to that.
