Is there a way to import my blogger posts I have exported in their blogger atom xml format?

Thank you!

Too bad it is outdated. Even the workaround listed in the comments doesn’t work anymore since blogger won’t let you switch to the “old style”

To be fair, that was 2009.

If someone with a blogger site can supply some sample data in the “new style” I’m sure we can find some documentation on the Internet defining the data structure. From there we should be able to figure out how to transmogrify the content into Txp. Those importers haven’t been touched for aeons so I’m surprised any of them still work.

I can do it. Blogger gives you two things you can do. Download the template (which I’m not that concerned about) and Export the blog. Each one is exported as an xml file. It says “Export your blog into the Blogger Atom export format. You can do this to move your blog to another blogging service or simply to store your blog on your own hard drive.”
I downloaded a defunct blog of mine that had only three posts.
So how can I send Xml files here? Their language makes it sound kind of cheeky “oh yeah, export it to another blogging service, sure, piece of cake.”
pfft. Yeah right. They’ll just change it again.

Feel free to drop me a line via my website. You won’t be able to upload a file from there, but when I reply you’ll have my email address. Can’t promise I can do anything, but if I can help I will.
