  I couldn’t import my xanga to my blog successfully as I have been waiting for 3 days already. Would it be possible for me to get any help?

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

  Hi there,
  I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  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 before your import will show up on WordPress.com.

  I’m wondering the same. I’m following the directions, unzipped the file, but when I click “Import” it says the files are not .xml files, but that’s how they’re labeled? So confused and terrified that I have lost years of blogging.

  I see a number of posts on your site. Were you able to get your Xanga import to work?

  I could successfully import some Xangas before, but not for the recent try…
  I am still waiting for that with the following notice:

  Thanks for letting me know. I have reset the blog importer tool for you, and you should be able to continue with the import.
