  References:
  Instructions on how to do a Xanga import are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-xanga/

  Note that you must open the .zip export folder you get from Xanga and import ALL of the files included in the .zip folder individually before your import will show up on WordPress.com.

  It appears you are trying to import the .zip file, instead of the individual files contained within it.

  Please try importing all of the .xml files into WordPress and let me know if you run into any trouble with that.
