Moving to Wordpress, except…

chrishansenhomeI have saved my LJ to archive, then (with very great difficulty) uploaded it to Wordpress. This new blog area is still a work in progress. However, I'm really annoyed about lots of things.
First, I use some codes in my posts to put in such things as ellipses (…) and em-dashes (—) and the like. These codes do not come out right and, in some cases (such as é) actually truncate the entry. This is majorly annoying.
Second, it seems that embedded videos are not carried across in all cases. This means that some entries end up looking really stupid, as there is a comment about the wonderful video I've embedded, and then nothing.
Third, the import facility in Wordpress says that it will take files up to 40MB. Don't believe 'em. As I got into my blogging stride I had somewhere between 3 and 4 thousand separate entries, and the whole archive couldn't be uploaded. I then split it into years, and starting in 2007 that year file was too big to upload! I had to split 2007-2010 into two pieces each in order to get them to upload. The swearing as I tried to do this was intensely annoying to HWMBO, although he hasn't said anything. I must be careful as I don't want to do anything to upset him.
Fourth, I want to automatically share my Wordpress blog with Live Journal, at least for the present. I don't know how to do this—anyone have any advice for me?
Fifth: I need a drink desperately but it's now 2315 and it's too late for that. Drat!
