  I have a problem with the posterous xml import for my blog at http://rcnederlands.wordpress.com. When I upload the xml-file from the zipped folder I downloaded, I get the error: this is not an xml file.

  How do I solve this issue? Currently I’m on a Windows XP Pro – IE8 system, but I hope that doesn’t cause the problems.

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

  Have you read this entry? http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/ You cannot upoad a zip file. It must be an xml file. Go here http://browserhappy.com and try downloading and using either Firefox 20 or Chrome 26.

  I know I’m supposed to upload the xml file. I picked that one from the backup I got from Posterous. Let’s see if it works with Safari, Firefox or Chrome.
