  I tried for several times and it was uploading until 94%, then it stopped and said there were errors. This is frustrating! What do I have to do?

  Are you following these steps? >> http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/
  Is your browser version up to date?
  How large is your file? It should be 200 posts to maximum.

  Yes, I did follow the steps. I chose import -> wordpress and uploaded the .xml file. it was uploading until 94% then stopped and said there were errors.

  Yes, my browser is up to date.

  The file has 500-ish posts, but it is only 5MB in size. The import page says that the size should not exceed 15MB, so I think there should not be any problem.

  Have you checked ‘WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically’ ?
  Settings > Writing Setting > Check the box. WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically. Save changes.

  You’re welcome. Good to hear this :)
  Did you find the mistake you were doing?
  I think the point, ‘200 posts to maximum applied’.
