Most people leave their images on their WordPress.com blogs with a note that the site has moved to a new location. It also helps to protect old posts from being lost in the shuffle.

If you still want to close the WordPress.com site, you could do a Search and Replace in WordPress MySQL Database to find all the URL links to the WordPress.com site and replace them with the URL link to your images.

The problem is that WordPress.com links images to specific posts which you cannot easily replace in the code. However, there might be a solution.

Bulk Image Downloader for WordPress Users claims to work especially with WordPress.com blogs to download images from your blog to migrate to a new blog. You’ll have to get your support help from the developer, but it looks like a good solution.

See Conditional Tags in the WordPress Codex, the online manual for WordPress users, for help on doing this in your sidebar.

There are several complains in the forum about this Plugin causing problems. Please search the forum for responses and check with the Plugin author for updates and information on the status.

According to the WordPress 2.7 Plugin Compatibility List, which I recommend you check first, that Plugin is not on the list, so the development team and testers did not test it. Check with the Plugin author for an update or information on the status.

SEO is not related much to the service you are on, but by more important things. If you are concerned and seriously monitoring your SEO page rank and such, you will notice a dip but it might go back up soon. There is nothing special for either. WordPress is more user friendly to search engines, but it has no sway with your page ranking. That is up to your content and how you link and are linked to, along with the rest of the secret sauce search engines and directories put into their algorithm.

Make the choice for other reasons beyond SEO. And worry about that instead. 😀

Here are your options.

1. In your Settings > Reading, set your default Feed length to Full or Summary (excerpt) which is the 120-200 characters.

2. Set your Settings to Full and then use the MORE button to define where you want the expert cut off point to be. It will be there on the front page of your blog and there in your feed. You control the length. It can be full or shortened to where ever you use the “more” code.

It is likely that the upload didn’t upload completely. Which version were you upgrading from? WordPress 2.6 or older, or from a beta version of WordPress 2.7?

If you are having trouble deleting folders and files before uploading, check with your web host. Try again and if it stops at the exact same point, go into the directory and delete the files in small batches rather than the whole directory at once and see if you are encountering a timeout from the server or something.

With everything except the wp-content folder and any non-WordPress folders deleted, try uploading WordPress 2.7 in small batches and see if that works.

Run the upgrade once you’ve uploaded everything and it should work, unless the efforts to get it going messed up something else. 😀

I know it’s painful and slow, but the problem might not be WordPress and be your server. Let’s start there first.

This is the second time you asked this. Please do not repeat your questions with new ones.

Did you upgrade WordPress? Did you install a WordPress Plugin or make a change in your WordPress Theme? What instigated this issue? We can’t fix it unless we know what started this.

And please be more specific in your question. “Problem with Admin Header” would have been better and get people specialized in resolving those issues responding faster.

Right now, we don’t have enough information to know how to answer this.
