  Hello,

  I have been trying my posterous blog many times but I always get the same error message from WordPress: “the file is not a xml file”.
  And of course I’m trying to import the wordpress_export_1.xml file, which seems normal when I open it in a browser.
  Just in case, I have tried to generate another file in the Posterous backup process, but I get the same problem.

  Can anybody help me?

  It would be great.

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

  You cannot upload a zip file. You can only upload an XML file. Please consult this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/
