  I created a .xml file from my BCUK blog and started the import but nothing seems to have happened.

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

  Hi there,

  I have deleted the import job. Can you please try running the import again?

  If it fails again, please let us know and we can investigate further for you. Many thanks!

  It still says it’s processing. This is what happened last time – don’t know if it means it will work eventually or not. Do I need to keep my laptop online while it’s going?

  Hi there,

  Sounds like it is stuck again. Let me try the import on my end and I will contact you once complete.

  Thanks!

  Thanks, that would be great! :-)
  My laptop keeps hibernating and my wifi is up and down all the time, don’t know if that would cause it to get stuck

  It’s a pretty large file and that may be the reason there were issues with the import. We’ll see if we can get it up for you! =)

  Thanks for your help. It’s quite a long-standing blog – I’ve been writing it for almost 7 years, and the platform is now closing down. I’d just like to hold onto the history if that’s at all possible.

  Okay, I have started the import on my end. Please check back in later today or tomorrow with any updates and let me know if the import is successful. I’ll keep in touch as well soon as I receive notification that the import has completed.

  Thanks!
