   I exported my old blog on my domain from WP to my computer to import it to my new host BlueHost. The blog theme is there (Headway) but every time I try to import the file I get this message:

   Sorry, there has been an error.
   File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.

   Can anyone direct me where to get help or how to solve this? This blog is a cumulation of 5 1/2 years of work and 738 posts. I'll be devastated if its gone forever. My site is http://www.thebloggingmama.com

   Thanks

   did you open the file to see if it is empty or not?

   Yes, if I open the file all the info is there. It was originally 10.4, I reduced the file size but I still get the same error. I've even tried exporting the file again and uploading but still get the same results.
