It has happened once before of which I'm aware. In that case, the blogger got her stuff back via Google Cached versions of her blog posts, too. At least you thought ahead and had backups.

You can also use an offline blog editor like Blogdesk or Ecto or Windows Live Writer. That way you can just re-upload every post.

Hi tellyworth,

Thank you very much for this information!

The link checker software followed the 'delete' links for each post in your wp-admin dashboard, exactly as if you had clicked Delete on each of them.

I guess the application used your browser cookies to gain access to the dashboard (which is password protected obviously).

Oh, and there are no other users for this blog.

I changed the password just in case.

I was using Peacock Media's (http://peacockmedia.co.uk/) "Integrity Version 3", which is mac software to check for broken links on my blog (http://slowyogaclasses.wordpress.com/).

It did a great job and found several broken links, which started to check.

and then I noticed something strange...

Three of my pages (I had 11) had disappeared along with around 30 or so posts!

What happened?

WordPress.com seems to be working perfectly otherwise. But, it's as if the pages and posts never existed!

I was able to re-post old versions of the pages via Google's cache, but I have no idea how to recover the posts.

I do have backups, but it's going to be a hassle to re-post everything.

This really shook me up!

Perhaps the pages that disappeared were withdrawn from circulation by the WordPress.com system because the broken link checker was accessing them too much or using too many resources?

Um, Blogger to wp.com is possible. Not sure why you're thinking it's not.

Are we talking about into a wordpress blog hosted here at wp.com or elsewhere?

Not sure exactly what your meaning here. Like the URL of your blog or what?

you'll want to ask in the http://wordpress.org/support forums, as that's not possible with a wordpress.com blog.

i believe they'll point you in the direction of this plugin:

I am doing my due diligence before moving ahead with the switch from Blogger to WordPress and one question never seems to be satisfactorily answered wherever I go.

How can I complete the conversion and keep my URL's intact? I have postings that are years old and still get traffic... I cannot afford to lose that traffic.

I welcome any experienced feedback.

Thanks
Ross
