  Just in case anyone is still looking to fix this, I found the answer in this thread. I figured I’d bring it to the front again:

  I got a reply to an email I sent Support. Here’s what you do, and it’s pretty easy.

  1. In Blogger, go to your Settings > Basic > Blog Tools > Export Blog.

  2. Click on Download Blog. It’ll save as an .xml file.

  3. Go to http://blogger2wordpress.appspot.com/ and find the .xml file that you exported from Blogger and click Convert. It’ll save as a .xml file.

  4. ***IMPORTANT – Browse to where you downloaded the file and RENAME THE EXTENSION AS A .WXR FILE***

  4. In WordPress, go to Tools > Import > WordPress.

  HAPPY BLOGGING

  Revoked. “Safari can’t open the page “feed://blogger2wordpress.appspot.com/b2wp/” because it could not load any data from this location.”

  Ok, for future reference, the above worked quite well, just I don’t suggest using Safari. I switched to Fire fox and it worked great :)

  Working for me right now.

  Never use Safari.

  Always FF or Chrome!

  @kaltetchannelblog I’m having a similar problem. blogger is exporting a .xml file, but it won’t convert. I even had someone at wordpress take the file blogger is giving me but they couldn’t get it to work. anyone else having this problem?

  @debauslaugh I had several blogger blogs with my single account.

  Two blogs with small data file did work using @jadedconformist method.

  but i am looking for the solution which allow me to process 10.6 MB xml file and convert into .WXR

  jadedconformist, you are awesome. You saved me hours of pulling my hair out. I had to break up the blog into several uploads because it was large, but it worked like a charm. Now i just need to figure out why embeds aren’t working anymore. I think I need a plugin. Thanks again jadedconformist.

  um spoke too soon. Looks like I’m gonna have to give JadedConformist’s method a shot before waving the white (surrender) flag. Thanks. Let’s do this!

  Hey! anyone still stuck with this – Try using the normal import process. I think Google fixed what ever was happening on their end where it would not recognize http://wordpress.com as being authorized or registered or whatever it was.

  I tried it two days ago and it finally worked!
