 * Hey, sorry for delay in replying. I’m afraid I don’t see the problem. As I understand
   it, it should be possible to import a blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org
   
   Anyway, eventually it imported all the images, but they were imported one at 
   a time. As in I had to go through the import process repeatedly until all the
   images were imported. I also had to set up the page pretty much from scratch 
   as the widgets and so on weren’t imported either. But I presume that’s somewhat
   normal as wordpress.org uses plugins more than widgets..
 * Anyway, thanks for you help.
 * Regards, Conor

 * Ok, I uploaded the XML file again, only this time I didn’t tick the ‘Download
   and import file attachments’ box.
    The posts all uploaded, but the blog is in
   a bit of a mess, and obviously none of the JPG files uploaded. I was using the
   Oxygen theme, so i’ve installed that again. But it still look nothing like it
   did before I started the process of moving from WordPress.com None of the Widgets
   or columns were uploaded, although the tags and comments and categories were!

 * I log into my WordPress account, go to the dashboard and click on Tools>Import;
   
   Then WordPress, I choose my XML file from where I’ve save it previously and then
   click ‘Upload and import’ The XML file is uploaded as a TXT file, and it also
   uploads the 1st JPG image from the first post I wrote when my blog was on WordPress.
   com If I try to upload it again, I get another xml_.txt file and another JPG 
   image. I wonder if I kept importing it would I eventually get all the media uploaded,
   and then just delete the xml_.txt files? Although that obviously seems like a
   very unorthodox method!
