Listen, I'm so friggin disgusted over what is probably happening over at Automattic (Tumblr, WordPress dot com) so, if you have a blog over at WordPress dot com, I will help you migrate to a self-hosted WordPress install. Yes, for free. From a professional web dev.
Email me: [email protected] or send a contact form submission at www.foundationwebdev.com/contact/
Do not be shy. I can have this done for you and onto a new hoster (provided you are prepared) in literal minutes.
If you are just lost as to what to do, I'll advise you too
I took Aimee up on her offer to help move WordPress blogs to self-hosted WordPress installs, and am very happy with the process and result!
She worked with me through a few false starts (apparently I like doing things the hard way) with patience and a positive attitude. Then followed up with helpful advice on maintenance, back-up and security.
Yes, this is a shameless plug for @aimeecozza !
