  I have been trying to import blogger blog in the last few years and it stalls all the time

  currently it froze at around 150 out of several thousand posts and 350 out of several hundred comments

  Please fix this problem on my behalf as I have given more than enough effort

  kind regards

  How large is the export file? If it exceeds 10 MB you may have to put it into a plain text editor and break the file into smaller export files and then import them individually.

  @turkisharmenians, you need to contact staff directly on this as volunteers here in the forums can’t really help.

  Contact

  It is over 150 mb and in private mode now and it’s NOT the turkisharmenians.wordpress.com

  staff couldnt help me in the last several years
  I”ll try a final shot again

  please tell me how to break the xml file into small pieces so that it works when imported

  surely breaking into pieces need to be done in precise points, right?

  Staff will have to weigh in on this and they cannot do that until you contact them.

  Thank you for your supportive views.
  I did contacted them again just a couple of hours ago.
  I hope they do better this time as they did nothing in the past
  I’d say, I have contacted them at least 4 times in the last 5 years and got zilch

  if you happen to hear and success stories related to my saga, please do share,

  I’ll do the same

  all the best
