Need a new online home? It’s easy to import into WordPress.com.
We think it’s important that you own the content you create online, which is why we make it simple to import or export all your data — you wrote it it, it’s yours, and you can take it where you’d like. If you want to become a part of the WordPress.com community but have been posting on Tumblr, Blogger, LiveJournal, Posterous, or other services, you can move your whole oeuvre over with a few clicks. (It’s just as easy to leave, but we’d miss you!)
This also means that if you’re blogging with a service that’s phasing out, as Posterous is doing on April 30, it’s easy to keep your site going by setting up a WordPress.com account and importing all your content. (Check out the Posterous blog announcement for more details on the change.)
We know it can be rough leaving a tool that you know and are comfortable with, so we’ve made the importing and setup process super-friendly: our documentation on importing a blog from Posterous walks you through the whole process step-by-step, from exporting from Posterous to registering your WordPress.com site to posting via email.
And if you have a domain you’ve been using with your Posterous Space (like yourgroovydomain.com) we can help you link it to your new WordPress.com site, so your followers will always know how to find you.
If this is your first time using WordPress.com, here are a few more resources for getting your new site up and running quickly:

I’ve done this. I like the idea of having all of my blogging together in one place even though my theme and/or approach may have been different when I started out years ago!

Dear WordPress, Quick and simple question, with hopefully a quick and simple answer: Is it possible to use WordPress as a CMS solution for an existing (html-based) website; http://www.hard-werken.nl/? I am pretty good at creating nice WordPress websites, but I am not good with coding. That’s why I love WordPress! Now I’ve been asked to create a CMS for the site hard-werken.nl, with an explicit comment not to change the lay-out/appearance. I have searched the internet for answers, but couldn’t find any. Hope you can help me out! Best regards, Martijn

Hi, Martijn. WordPress.com is a CMS, and you can build all kinds of sites with it. However, if you need a very specific layout, using a self-hosted version of WordPress (available at http://wordpress.org) might suit you better — you’d have finer control over the site’s appearance, and could adapt/create a theme that would mimic the look of the site you’re trying to rebuild.

With Posterous shutting down on April 30th, now’s a great time to move your stuff over to WordPress.com if you had a Posterous account. I worked on the importer that makes this possible!

You can upload multiple photos at once through the Media Manager — if you have a bunch of files you want to bring into WordPress.com, that might be a solution. For more on uploading : https://wordpress.com/support/images/#upload-images-from-your-computer .

I wonder if someone at WordPress could help me. My husband set up two sites on WordPress. Unfortunately he died before he could hand them over. One was for his golf club and one for some friends in Spain. I have managed to change the passwords and get into them with some help from someone at WordPress but would like to hand them over completely. One of them is on the same site as our family photo’s and I do not want to give them access to these. I have given the Golf club the user name and password for their site as this only has the information regarding the club. Can you give me any advice please. I am sending this from my late husbands email site.
Thanks Glynis Cargill
