   After reading this(http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#converting-categories-to-tags) article I tried to follow the directions, but when I click on "Categories can be selectively converted to tags using the category to tag converter." it takes me to "http://stevebroskey.wordpress.com/wp-admin/import.php" - and the hyperlink of the original text reads to that URL.

   [Having just imported a few blogger blogs, all the tags came in as categories and I had been converting them by hand - automation sounds so much nicer...]

   The blog I need help with is stevebroskey.wordpress.com.

   You need to then click on the third option from the top: "Categories and Tags Converter Convert existing categories to tags or tags to categories, selectively."

   Where?
   As soon as I click on "category to tag converter" it takes me to the import page.

   From Tools>
   Tools-Categories and Tags Converter>
   Import-Categories and Tags Converter>which will bring you to a page "Convert Categories to Tags" with a list of all the available Categories which can be converted to tags.

   At the top of that page there's also two buttons>Categories to Tags (default-the page you are on) and Tags to Categories.

   Welcome! Yup, agree it would be nice if it were a shorter path from A to D. "-)

   (And mark "resolved"?, thanks!)
