Well done tigtog.
A lipsniger of a post, over there, will be needed to lure the luvvies away from exile. The place where I would have been heading if the rodent had again slipped out of the trap.
tigtog,
I think just exporting from WordPress.com, importing these into the new old site and then deleting everything from here (apart from a pointer back) would be the way to go.
Until it breaks down again, how many times has it been down just in the last year????
Frankly I doubt the value of self-hosting when the standard WordPress platform works so well.
I don’t think we’ll be making final decisions until the New Year, but I expect we probably will port these posts back over to LP for the sake of continuity, however I don’t see why we’d necessarily delete all the stuff here.
Good point joe2. This post would look silly if exported back to LP.

BTW, thanks for your concern Iain, but self-hosting has its advantages too. We’re hoping the new webhost and server will be less likely to result in “bandwidth exceeded” messages disrupting your browsing.

Sounds a bit dramatic Andrew.
L.P. in exile now has a place in blog history.
You leave stuff up and never delete in MHO.

Is it back? Doesn’t look like it this morning.

I withdraw that.

Seems to be a lot of friction over there.
