We'll proceed with the import.

Sorry about the delay, we're going to run the import for you today. I just want to confirm with you that you're okay with us emptying your blog first, since you never replied above.

Before importing the file, we'd first need to fully empty your WordPress.com blog, so the importer doesn't try to reimport posts or comments for posts that already exist. Emptying out the site will erase all posts, pages, comments, images, other types of uploaded files, and other data, and it can't be undone.

Let us know and we'll go ahead.

I'll send you an email with further instructions.

Is there any way around this?

You can get the file by logging into Blogger, then going to Settings > Other > Export.

Let us know if you'd like to try this route and whether we can empty your site.

I tried all four steps posted above, but my browser is still spinning when I try to import from Blogger. I'm using Firefox for Mac version 17.0.1 and received the following error message after a few minutes of waiting:

Whoops!

There was a small systems error. Please try refreshing the page and if the error is still there drop us a note and let us know.

However, when I click on the Blogger link under Tools -> Import, all I get is a spinning wheel in my browser.

I have tried logging out and back in several times. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Thank you!
