  I’m trying to export all the files off my blog before I delete forever. I followed the directions for exporting, downloaded the file, and then opened it to check. This was the error I got, and I’m not even able to right-scroll to see all of it.

  The XML page cannot be displayed
  Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

  The operation completed successfully. Error processing resource ‘file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Karen Twelves/My Documen…

  <atom:link rel=”search” type=”application/opensearchdescription+xml” href=”http://kindle.wordpress.com/osd.xml” title=”k…

  I don’t know what error to correct! At first there was a dropdown error saying that some content was being blocked. I clicked “allow” and refreshed and got the exact same error again.

  I searched the forums and found that I could also view an xml file of my blog here: http://kindle.wordpress.com/wp-links-opml.php, but it seems to just have my blogroll listed and nothing else.

  Any help on how to successfully export my blog to text would be helpful. Thanks!

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

  That is your LINKS export, which does indeed only export your blogroll.

  In your sidebar, go to tools, and then to export.

  These are the links to support documentation for exporting your contents out of your blog. WordPress will create an XML file for you to save to your computer. This format, called WordPress eXtended RSS or WXR, will contain your posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags. Once you’ve saved the download file, you can use the Import function on another WordPress blog to import this blog.

  If the export file you receive when you try this again throws errors – record them and contact Staff http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  I’ve gone ahead and contacted the Support Staff, because I’ve followed the instructions to export to the letter and am still unable to read the file. These are the instructions I initially followed, I know where they are located online, please if anyone wants to make further comments do NOT just tell me to go to Tools and Export.

  @kindle [Moderators Note] I have read over this whole thread and from what I can see is their replies were meant to be helpful I understand your frustration but please don’t make demands like that in a public forum.
