  Hi,

  I´ve followed the entire isntructions to import my posterous blog. However, while uploading the XLM there is a problem as the systems keep on saying it is not an xlm file. No doubt, it is.

  Can you help me with this?

  Thanks!

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

  Are you using this guide? http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/

  Have you tried using another browser? http://browsehappy.com

  You cannot upload a zip file. Posterous sends you a .zip file which you need to open to retrieve the files inside. Per the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/ you’ll need to upload the wordpress_export_1.xml file, not the one you tried to import. Please see what Staff amightywp says in this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/posterous-download-zip-folder-will-not-extract-for-import?replies=14#post-1242796
