  Importing from Xanga not reading as XML file. I have downloaded the zip file and trying to individually load each XML file. Every time I do so, it reports back to me that the file is not XML and therefore not compatible.

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

  When this has happened in the past, we have had some users report success by trying a different browser or using the WordPress importer tool (which also accepts Xanga files) rather than the specific Xanga importer tool.

  Please try those two options and see if one works. If not, please let me know.

  For further instructions on how to do a Xanga import, please see:

  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.
