There is a checkbox for that. And I checked it.

I just was looking at my Media and they are all there - but they are all unattached!

Agh!

As I remember, you get the choice right after you click the import button.

While it worked, I noticed all the media links go to wordpress.com.

Is there another way I can export so that when I import I also bring in my media? Or do I just need to keep my wordpress.com site up and going?

(When I imported to wordpress.com from Posterous it actually brought the media in, so I thought the wordpress-to-wordpress export/import might do the same thing.)

I'm not quite sure if this is a wordpress.com question or a wordpress.org question, so I'll also post over there.

Thanks,

doug
