    thank you for reading...

    my WP version is 2.0, that version already exist with my hosting. But i updated the version (i guess) i made click on "upgrade.php" and WordPress told me this
    "This file upgrades you from any previous version of WordPress to the latest. It may take a while though, so be patient."

    then,

    "Step 1
    There's actually only one step. So if you see this, you're done. Have fun!"

    If that is correct, my version is 2.3.....
    but i do not understand why i can't import my blog =(

    Give a link to your self-hosted blog. Your profile links to the wp.COM blog.

    If you don't see the WordPress option in Manage->Imports, you may not have the correct 2.3 files installed.

    Please consider upgrading to 2.3 or installing 2.3. Then you should be able to Import the WXR file.

    Not sure if you've had any luck. I was having a similar problem importing wordpress.com to wordpress.org. I had to disable "PodPress", a podcasting plugin, on my wordpress.org site and then the import worked fine. Best of luck!
