  I’m trying to import from Xanga. I have completed the necessary steps, but when I try to import my .xml file, your system says it ISN’T a .xml file. I’d hate to lose 10 years of blogging life. Pls advice

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

  I’m having the same issue. I just posted in the help forum, hopefully we’ll have a response soon to avoid losing our previous blogs. :)

  Have you tried using another browser or updating your browser version? http://browsehappy.com?

  Have you tried using the “WordPress” importer type rather than Xanga to see if that helps?

  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.
