  For instructions on how to do a Xanga import, please see: 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.

  If you continue to have trouble with your import, please try a different browser. You might also try the WordPress importer rather than the Xanga-specific importer.

  I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  It looks like you are using IE 8.0. The importer (and other functionality on WordPress.com) may not work properly with older browsers, so I would strongly recommend you either update your browser to the current version of IE or try Firefox or Chrome.

  Thank you both so much!! It did end up being an issue with my browser. I tried again with Chrome and it worked perfectly.
