    I am setting up my own webpage and would like to import my free wordpress blog (http://planetpooks.wordpress.com) to the new site.

    How do I do that?

    Thanks!

    In the WordPress.com site, go to tools -> export to get the export file, which you can import into your self-hosted WordPress.org site using tools -> import.

    So I have to download it to my Mac first, and then import it from there?

    Thank you!

    Oh, one more question. Do I:

    Download and import file attachments

    Replace ePanel settings with sample data values

    ???

    Will replacing the ePanel settings mess up the new theme I'm using? Or will not replacing them cause problems?

    If you want to keep the same theme, you will need to install it:

    You should have the option to Download and import file attachments when running the import
