  Trying to import my wordpress info from my currently hosted blog but am getting the following error:

  This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number

  Here is the heading that shows in the XML file I exported:

  <?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’UTF-8′?>
  <!– This is a WordPress eXtended RSS file generated by WordPress as an export of your site. –>
  <!– It contains information about your site’s posts, pages, comments, categories, and other content. –>
  <!– You may use this file to transfer that content from one site to another. –>
  <!– This file is not intended to serve as a complete backup of your site. –>

  <!– To import this information into a WordPress site follow these steps: –>
  <!– 1. Log in to that site as an administrator. –>
  <!– 2. Go to Tools: Import in the WordPress admin panel. –>
  <!– 3. Install the ‘WordPress’ importer from the list. –>
  <!– 4. Activate & Run Importer. –>
  <!– 5. Upload this file using the form provided on that page. –>
  <!– 6. You will first be asked to map the authors in this export file to users –>
  <!– on the site. For each author, you may choose to map to an –>
  <!– existing user on the site or to create a new user. –>
  <!– 7. WordPress will then import each of the posts, pages, comments, categories, etc. –>
  <!– contained in this file into your site. –>

  <!– generator=’WordPress/4.3.1′ created=’2015-10-18 19:41′ –>
