- If I use the "import button", it will erase all the content on my former blog ? Or will they coexist ?

Importing your content will not erase it from the old site, the content will be on both sites.

- As you can see, I've got a domain name (purchased with Posterous/Google Apps). I'm affraid the change impact my ranking on Google. What is the best way to avoid this ? The import button will make the change and redirect my domain to WP.com ?

As long as you (1) will be mapping the custom domain to your WordPress.com site, and (2) don't edit the post slugs, they should generally redirect automatically.

Just let me know if you have further questions.

The plug in sometimes imports full scale and sometimes it won't. Very annoying.

It seems like it's ALMOST there...

I re imported everything and...
Some of my files are linked and some are actually moved over (YES!).

I don't see a difference in why one pic would be moved over and another one linked. Sometimes they are in different posts and sometimes even in the same post it will act differently with 2 pics.

If you guys can fix that then we're all set.
Would it be a timing issue during the import ?

I know they have their own posterous importer plugin (beleive me, I tried it) but it doesn't work at all and the devs aren't supporting it anymore it seems. Everyone in my case knows this and use the wordpress.com plugin instead.

If you do a google search the first 20 results all explain how to do this through worpress.com and so I did.

I'm now getting the media already exists but I will search elsewhere for answers don't worry.

It is interesting though how depedning on which browser you use, you get different results.

Thanks.

Also, they have their own importer plugin. You don't need to use us as a middle-man: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posterous-importer/

Now I'm one step closer to using wordpress.

So now I tried to export my imported site to another wordpress site.
So I exported creating an XML file.

Then re imported into my new site this XML and now all my picctures are all messed up. All over the place, in posts they shouldn't be in.

Is there a "best" way to do this ?
