  I’ve been trying to upload my Posterous backup file, and when I go to posts and try to upload them, WordPress will only allow me to click on a single file at a time, and tells me it will email me when it is finished. How can these files be uploaded as a batch?

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

  The instructions here might help: http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/

  You import by going to tools -> import, import from posterous, and then select the xml file which is inside the zip file. If you’ve split your backup to two zip files, just do one after the other.

  If it comes up saying this isn’t an xml file try another browser, like Firefox or chrome, and let us know if that doesn’t work so staff can assist.
