We don't support importing from freeblog.hu blogs, but I'd like to take a closer look at the file you've exported from your site to see if I can make it work.

I'll send you a private email in a minute, so let's continue the discussion there. Thanks!

Bryan, the original blog is this:
http://eletamerikaban.freeblog.hu/
There were a program somewhere on the net with which I could Bloggerized the content. But, I could not import the actual bloggerconverted content into blogger, therefor I am trying to make a blog here at wordpress.If you think that killing the import could help, yes please, I would try it again.

What's the URL of your Blogger site?

Can you try generating a new Blogger export file, then reply with the blog URL where you're trying to import it?

Also, would you like me to "kill" the importer so you can try it once more?

I later tried to import again, and it said it was successful, but there was nothing there. It turned out that those posts still existed in the trash. All I had to do was go to the trash and put it back. Good luck!

Thank you so much. I can't believe after all my mucking you solved my issue so quickly. From fishing around on the wordpress website I was afraid no tech support could come to my rescue anymore. Many many thanks!

The importer skips posts if they still exist in the trash. Can you empty your posts trash in Posts -> All Posts, click Empty Trash, then try the import again?

You see the kind of Luddite you're dealing with here. So then I finally figured out how to re-create my theme and link up to my facebook page, and now I can't re-import. I know, I know, it makes you want to slam my head in a drawer just thinking about it...
