Otherwise, the documents will appear as a download link.

I thought that it might be helpful to flag these issues up as they might affect others here and are not obvious when an import is apparently successful.

Over the past year, I have exported several blogs from Posterous and then imported to WordPress.com, with lots of posts and images, and there were no problems with the import process itself.

However, in case the following issues affect anyone else, after you have successfully imported:

- look at your WordPress.com content in "text" view for any posts or pages that have media embedded, to check that the media have actually been imported. If you see a lot of code embedding content on Posterous, your media might not actually have transferred to your WordPress.com blog.

- Check your Media Library on your WordPress.com blog. It might be immediately obvious that there are far fewer files there than there should be. Your blog might look fine but the media files are actually still hosted on Posterous.

- Media that are unsupported in free WordPress.com blogs, like audio and video, might appear to have been "imported" but they will just be in links to media that is still embedded back on Posterous. These will disappear when Posterous closes at the end of the month so you need to upload them somewhere else and then embed the links in your WordPress.com blog.

- Do not assume that you can go back to Posterous, even now, to download and re-upload media files. My audio files disappeared off Posterous just after they announced that Posterous had been taken over by Twitter.

- pdf files are embedded on Posterous via Scibd. I replaced all these embeds as I wondered if they might disappear too, even if they are still saved somewhere on Scribd. Even if you have a Scribd account, the Posterous embeds are not linked to your Scribd account.

Hope this is helpful - not long now before Posterous disappears!

Best wishes,
Liz

Caution Scribd loads the entire document when the page / post loads - so if the document is of any size at all - put it below a More Tag so everyone that visits your front page don't need to load the Scribd document

I want to post a .pdf, but I don't want the reader to have to click on a link.
When they go to the post, I want the contents of the .pdf to be visible.

Specifically, I want to use a hand-written document (saved as a .pdf) that IS the content of that post.

The piece was originally a prezi, and there used to be a work-around for embedding prezi into a wp blog. That seems to have changed, so I had to save the file as a pdf, upload to scribd, and plan to embed it that way. Wish there was a more direct way to do this--maybe in the future!

There are lots of plugins already bundled with every WordPress.com blog and website. They extend WordPress functionality and include things like Google Sitemaps, caching, Akismet anti-spam, Carousel slideshows, social media buttons, and over a hundred others.

Most WordPress.com users won’t find a Plugins tab in your dashboard. We include and configure the plugins for you, so you don’t need to worry about them.

Where are the obvious, easy instructions for embedding pdfs?
