    Hi - I'm "upload"ing my wordpress.com blog (posts, comments, etc.) and it says that it is too big (2.8 mgs and the limit is 2 mgs)

    Help?
    Thanks Arnica

    Sorry, that was "import"ing...

    Try gzip'ping the file and use that compress file when doing the import.

    If that doesn't work, you may have to break the XML file into two 'valid' pieces.

    **Valid being the correct opening and closing tags that encompass the file.

    You will have to ask your host to increase PHP setting called max_upload_size as some limit that to 2MB.

    I ended up breaking up the exporting by assigning different authors to different posts and then importing eac author seperately. Seems to have done the trick! Thanks for the idea.
