Otherwise, there's really no way to redirect visitors from a standard Blogger blog besides just putting up a "I moved" post.

I don't think I can use the plugins because I have the free version...so what is the best way to get the redirection working. I understand there is a service at a price?
Could you please point me in the right direction.

This time the import worked completely. Thanks very much for that.

Cheers.

Fortunately, your blog was just barely recoverable.

Please try the import again from an export file this time and let us know how it goes.

I may have caused further problems doing this.

Could you please look into this. I am keen to get started in WordPress....

Cheers.

Is http://lightshadeofgreen.wordpress.com/ the blog in question, and did it only have imported posts? If so, may we empty it?

I can see headings and names of those who commented on each post but no content (or media) in the posts and no content in the comments.
Can you help out?
