You are using the Manifest theme. There is no sidebar on that theme. The Recent Posts widget is displayed at the bottom of the front page. If you make your front page a a mile long then your visitors will not find the Recent Posts widget.

What I would do is create a page titled Index (or whatever you want - 1 word preferred). In the body of that page I would type:
This page is a complete index to all posts published in this blog displayed in reverse chronological order.
[archives]
Then I would publish the page. The result will look like this > example.

I checked it out and found that I could not access them either. To get them out there, I ended up changing the settings so that all of my blog posts are on the home page. I tried to change it so they'd at least appear abbreviated, but that won't work, and now my homepage is super long and just has all of my posts on it. I need help figuring out how to only have the most recent post on the home page, while still having my older posts be accessible to viewers. The settings will not let me do this. I am also curious to know if it is possible to re-order my posts manually. HELP!

And yes, all of the above was covered with many emails to the Staff on what blew up, so they are aware of at least some of the issues.

But you can be sure that it would NEVER be the case that this is the most important support ticket.

And so it will probably NEVER be fixed.

How would anyone know who is affected? Both by the number of people posting in the forums as well as Support tickets opened.

I guess it is about priorities or at least the squeaky wheel principle. Right now there's a problem affecting inserting images, which I think in anyone's book would be right at the top of the fix list.

The dev team have lots of fun stuff to do, down comes this boring bug that everyone "suspects the numbers are pretty small" being affected.

How would anyone know who is affected? I for one am not going to publish a broken dual media site so that someone will know the import is broken.
Most people are not stopped dead in their tracks because they cannot use the import. Others will give up and go elsewhere.

(FWIW-It seems there may have been a confusion as to what the OP was trying to do. S/He was exporting from com to org, not the other way around.)

I imagine that the number of users trying to export and import a blog from one WordPress.com site to another is pretty small, nor do I know how many have used the change blog address option. Here, too, I suspect the numbers are pretty small.

What I would find helpful is what you mentioned above, being able to change the blog's address to one you already have registered rather than taking a risk that the name you want isn't available. Regardless, you pointed out that you encountered problems with the change blog address option as well.

About moving from WordPress.org to a WordPress.com site, I have a niggling memory of someone suggesting rolling back their org installation to 3.0 and then doing the export. I do not recall if this solved the problems that were encountered.

They started with the most recent and are working backwards.

I have several sites to move back to wordpress.COM for someone who is wanting to simplify their online existence, and I've put them off till this is fixed. I haven't looked at the dev track, but I expect it is probably slated for the next core update, which would be 3.1.2. No telling when that will be out though.

Contact staff about it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ .

Yes, I think the core dev has put it to the bottom of their list.

So the question is:

Is it
- infrequent thus not important, or
- not show stopping (in the sense no data is lost in the original) thus not important, or
- people try this and give up, thus core team doesn't think it's widespread

Support staff have tried the imports, they get the same issues, so it really is a bug that needs to be fixed.

I am hoping this will show up in search now as a known issue, and others affected can add their thoughts and then we can see how many members are 'affected' and whether this should stay at the bottom of the list forever.

Staff have seen this log.

You can also see this problem every time a new theme is introduced. Look at the new theme's demo site's Gallery post where all the images have been doubled.

To make a long story short, it is apparent they are aware of the problem.

The import/export thing is part of wordpress core. That means the main development team has to fix it, and the wordpress.COM staff are separate from the core dev team. That means they have to pass it on to core dev and the core dev has to triage it and put it in to their fix-it list in order of priority.

1) they never get back
2) it was/is/never will be(?) fixed

The support team fully understands and has reproduced the error, and passed it on to the appropriate team

Obviously the bug report has been tagged 'minor' or they just can't be bothered, after all it's not like a blogger user can't migrate to WP. Unless they think there's a chance a WP user may migrate elsewhere due to these bugs, maybe nobody will bother to move?

It took them under a week to introduce the domain name change feature, maybe this bug just isn't interesting? Firefox etc also suffer from boring bugs being left behind while fun new stuff are done in a snap.
