I’m both a wordpress.com blogger and a self-hosting wordpress blogger too. This morning I found a great tutorial for self hosting wordpress bloggers using Linux. It’s titled:
Tutorial: Setup a Totally Free, Self-Hosted WordPress.org Blog

“This tutorial is intended to help guide new web masters (like myself) in getting their own totally free, self-hosted WordPress.org blog up and running. I’m using Fedora 8 to accomplish this, but your distribution of Linux is probably very similar. In fact, a great guide for Ubuntu is located here on their wiki. …”

Hi there-
I’m not sure where to ask this?
I’ve recently started self-hosting w/ WP. I uploaded and then imported my XML file.
All my comments are there in the admin panel under comments, BUT they are not showing up on the individual posts that they were originally written for. Each post says “No comments” even though the comments did import. They somehow lost their ‘link’ to their respective posts. Any ideas?
Thanks!
LL

I’m sorry but I can’t help you with this. You will have to got to http://wordpress.org/support and post to the forum there.
