Import my overblog site
-
Hello,
I have a blog at over-blog and I exported it. Now I have an XML file.
How can I import this XML file into WordPress ?
Thank you in advance -
Hello there,
This guide will show you in detail how to import an XML file:

The guide says :
If we don’t have an importing tool for your particular platform, you’ll want to try and convert it into one of the accepted formats so that you can use the proper importer. This means you first convert your blog to one of the services mentioned above (such as Blogger), and then import your blog from Blogger to WordPress.com. If you can export to .xml, you can import using the WordPress importer.
However when I use the WordPress importer with my .xml file, there is an error :
There was a problem with your WordPress import file. It doesn’t seem to be in a valid format.
Make sure you are using a valid WordPress export file in XML or ZIP format. -
Hello there again,
I did some more research on this and found out that there isn’t any easy way to do this. What you’re going to need to do is convert the blog into one of the platforms that WordPress.com supports and then try the import again.
The first thing I’d try is to see if the XML file will work on one of the platforms from the list (like Blogger for example) and then export from Blogger to WordPress.com.
If that doesn’t work then the only other possible solutions I found are:

And this article has a lot of positive comments suggesting that it worked:
