  I followed all the steps for importing a Xanga blog, but once I try to upload my .xml files I get the error “this is not an xml file.” The file has the extension “.xml” and the file type is “XML document,” so I don’t know what the problem is.

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

  For instructions on how to do a Xanga import, please see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-xanga/

  Note that you must open the .zip export folder you get from Xanga and import ALL of the files included in the .zip folder individually.

  If you have trouble please try a different browser. http://browsehappy.com

  Hi Eric,

  If another browser doesn’t work and gives you the same error, the file not have generated correctly from Xanga in the first place. You may need to re-export your site. If after trying with a fresh export if still won’t work please let me know and I’ll take a look!
