Update for those of you who are waiting for the importer to unstick at WordPress – submit a request for a reset by using their help/support link.  It’ll send you to a help forum where it looks like the “community” will answer your question, but someone from their tech staff will actually read it once it’s there and get back to you.  I got this in my email this morning:

Hi there,

I’ve reset the Tumblr importer for your site so you can try again.

If it seems to take long, please be patient and don’t try cancelling the process yourself – we’re experiencing a high volume of imports from Tumblr at the moment causing a backlog of pending imports in our system. The imports are being run in the order they are submitted.

If the new import doesn’t complete within 24 hours, please let us know.

“we’re experiencing a high volume of imports from Tumblr at the moment”

LOL

Anyway, yeah it takes a while, mine has been running for about 8 hours and doesn’t even look like it has any progress yet, but they’re saying 24 hours so…hang in there.

In other news, the powers that be here haven’t gotten back to me yet about my oh so inappropriate facepalming-Loki pic that was redflagged, but then I’m guessing they have about 857,932 mistakes to address at the moment, so…our WordPress imports are gonna be done long before any of us get apologies.
