  We followed the instructions to Import from Posterous. We uploaded the files and clicjed Submit & received verification that they WERE RECEIVED by WordPress. Unfortunately, they do not show up ANYWHERE. Please, please get back to me & tell me how I can access my Blogs. I am very very upset. I appreciate your time in helping get started with your wonderful Blogsite. Thank you!!!!

  Hi there!

  I show in the log files that you uploaded the entire Posterous export .zip file in your import attempt. Note that the zip file itself will not work. You’ll need to unzip that file and find the WordPress export .xml file as shown here:
  http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/4-unzipped-archive.png

  Then, go to this page in your site’s dashboard and only upload the .xml file:
  https://carolefelton.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=posterous-wxr

  Please note it may take up to an hour for the import to complete. You will receive an email when the import has finished.

  I hope that clarifies things!
