Empty Out My Blog

    Dear sir/madam,

    I'm one of the people coming over to WordPress from weblog.nl. I've imported my file several times and some problems have arisen, so I would like to make my blog anonofholland.wordpress.com a blank slate to start from again. However, I ONLY want to- remove the contents of the blog, NOT the settings like menus, appearance and such since I worked hard on making it the way I like it.

    So, I would greatly appreciate it if you could remove all the posts in this blog, but leave the rest the way it is now.

    Kind regards,
    Richard Luijten

    [P.s. you can also remove the 'testenvironment' blogs if you wish, otherwise I will do it myself tomorrow]

    [P.P.S. I found no way to actually contact WordPress since I got shoehorned into this forum..if anyone can tell me who I should contact, please let me know]

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

    Hi Richard, I've emptied anonofholland.wordpress.com as per your request. Let me know if you have any further questions regarding your import!

    Thank you kindly, I'll try to import again during this weekend.
    I will let you know if there are any problems.

    My apologies but could I ask you to remove all the posts one more time?
    I noticed there were still some mistakes in my XML that I would like to fix.
    It'd be nice if the menus would be saved this time though because I had to reset them before. If this is possible, of course.

    The blog has been emptied as requested. This also includes the menu.

    We're having some minor issues with our importer. Please contact us by e-mail so we can help you import your weblog.nl blog. If possible, also send us your weblog.nl export file.

    Did you sent this e-mail from the email address associated with your account? I can't seem to find it.

    Yeah it was sent from de.satan on Feb 25 (GMT+1).

    I re-mailed it just now.

    I reimported the xml file into your blog. Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.

    I think something went seriously wrong with the import..
    I've worked hours on fixing all the errors in the xml but they're all back in the imported page while I tested it myself a few days before and they were fine..

    Examples:
    http://anonofholland.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/paranormal-activity-2-vs-paranormal-activity-2-tokyo-night-a-comparative-study/

    "And where there’s money, there’s "
    " feel like you’re right in there while the American versionâ�"

    If in the process of importing you've ran an improvement script on your end, please disable that since it seems to have undone all my own improvements..

    It's getting kind of stressful now because today is the last day we can make the import because my weblog blog will go offline at midnight!

    P.s. I just checked the code in the xml file and it is correct:

    "right in there while the American version's"

    Ok let's try something else. I've just emptied the blog, could you please re-import the file you have at https://anonofholland.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wordpress

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Yup, it seems to be fine now!
    I should check if all the media has been imported correctly, but all the posts look fine.
    Thank you for your quick responses!
