Editing imported posts from Blogger

    I am in the process of moving my blog from Blogger to WordPress. I imported my posts and comments but the lines between paragraphs in my posts disappeared in the transfer. I tried editing the posts in WordPress but when I pushed update it didn’t reflect my changes. Can someone tell me 1) if it’s possible to edit posts imported from Blogger and 2) if yes, what am I doing wrong?
    Here’s a link to one of the posts I’m talking about

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Yes. you can edit your imported posts.

    It looks as though you imported quite a lot of exterraneous and bothersome code. Were you pasting your posts from Word or some other pre-formated text?

    The best thing would be to cut/copy your text in the Visual editor then paste as “plain text” so all that bad stuff gets removed. You could also paste the text from the Visual editor into the html editor. Your pictures look ok, so pasting into the html will allow you to paste sections of text without disturbint the pics.

    <div class="MsoNormal">TEXT.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">TEXT.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">TEXT</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">TEXT.</div>

    All those dive classes should be paragraphs or line breaks.
    (TEXT up there replaces the text you wrote.)
    Once you get rid of the junk, you can go back to edit your formatting.
    Here is some info about line breaks at wp.com:
