How to import ONLY posts & comments from WP to WP (2 posts)

    I have a site (http://theartistoflife.com) that has a blog on it (theartistoflife.com/blog). I recently redesigned the base part of the site using WP, and I left the blog alone. Now I'm ready to import the content from the existing blog - posts, comments, and perhaps categories - so that the blog fits within the framework of the new site and functions like the blog seen here: http://authorjasongarrett.com.

    Do I export the full blog that has everything including navigation and pages I don't want, or just the posts? I would like to keep my comments, and I don't see a clear cut way to get them.

    Once I have the right exported file, when I import, will it wreck my site since it's a separate instance of WordPress? I've never imported content into a site like this and I want to do it right. I should mention that I have a blog page already set up (un-linked and no content so far) and I've set my posts to go there once they are imported.

    Thanks in advance for anyone who's able to give me some direction! I really appreciate it.

    I just deleted everything I didn't want to import, then did a full export and then imported that. Worked like a charm.
