Thanks for the response. Unfortunately this does not totally help.
I have prepared a list of posts outside of any blogging platform - basically in Notepad. I now want to bulk import these into WordPress.
I am using the WordPress XML file as my template to import these posts (from Notepad/Excel) into WordPress.
The below is an example of a post in the XML file. If I populated each field, will my import work?
Based on previous uploads, these posts do not appear.
