Today I tried to upgrade to WordPress from my Windows Live. It seemed when I finished my second step, some problems happened. Sorry I cannot remember them. Then I was directed to WordPress. A new space was created for me, but in the space I couldn’t find anything existing in Windows Live. The most worst thing is that my old window live space is not available now. I think everything in my old Windows Live space had been lost. Fortunately, before I upgrade, I didn’t trust the so-called easily upgrading. I backup the contents in my old Windows Live space. Now I want to know how to restore my old Windows Live space or import my backup to the WordPress. Tell the truth, the first experience with the WordPress made me feel very sad and think it sucks!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m looking forward to know whether the problem of gengruili talking about has been solved.

Because i also met this problem during the process of upgrading my windows live spaces.

Now, when i type the url of my windows live spaces into the IE explorer, the error message ” … this space is no longer available.”, But when i loginto the WORLDPRESS blog, there’s nothing in it.

I’m puzzled about this problem…

@ynwpl, contact staff as Markel says with the details so that they can get it sorted out for you. They have to take care of these issues one on one since the issues causing the problem can different causes.

J’avais sur “Windows live” des albums photo qui défilaient en diaporama.
Ces albums n’ont pas été repris par “Word Press”.
Quand je les télécharges, elles sont fixes et dans un ordre alphabétique en fonction des noms donnés comment faire pour les réinstaler comme précédemment.
Merci.

Although I did manage to import my blog successfully, the process
was so confusing that I believe a lot of people would mess it up.

I still cannot figure out the process!!! Where did you get the Orange Connect button? From after you signed into WordPress, Or Live Email (in my case, hotmail)?
