Wanted to post about this bug I noticed on Blogger.

I was trying to import a WordPress export file on Blogger.

Blogger gives this cryptic error message without explaining the actual reason behind the problem.

The cause of this problem is incompatibility between WordPress and Blogger backup XML file structure.

A simple solution is to use Wordpress2Blogger conversion utility to convert the file from WordPress format to Blogger format.

This free service works for blogs with 1MB backup file. For larger files, you would have to make copies of the backup files and remove different chunks of posts from each. This way you would have to generate multiple copies for import on Blogger.

I really wish Google could do this on their own. Having a truly functional import system is very critical for any service facing solid rivals.
 
any blogger in draft user here? have you received the new dashboard update yet?
