  Hi,
  I checked your blog and seems like nothing was imported or may be the posts were imported but were not published. Could you please check your drafts and see if the posts were imported into drafts.
  Also here is a support page about importing from Xanga. Please do verify if you have followed the steps correctly. How big is your import file (Kbs/MBs?). Also could you please particularly check about the browser(avoid InternetExplorer 9) that you used while uploading your XML file to WordPress.com .

  Keep us posted on how it goes.

  Hi, thanks for your reply.

  The import file is 241KB only.
  https://kevin0312.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
  In this setting, I have only 2 post.
  I tried to upload the XML file by different browsers including Firefox and Chrome.

  I think i have followed the steps correctly.
  So, I still can’t find where the problems are.

  Hi,
  the problem is solved.
  I think the problem is the file name. My XML file name includes the _.
  For example, 2312_2.XML
  When I change the name without _, then I can view my post from xanga.
