If that doesn’t work, open a wordpress.com blog and import your blogger blog to that. Then, export your wordpress.com blog and import it to your primary WordPress blog.

The link definitely helped; thanks 🙂
However, the procedure only worked for some, not for all.
The smallest blog (147kB – xml; 45kB – wxr) worked perfectly.
The next one (166kB – xml; 80kB – wxr) left out some pictures w/o error message.
The largest one (3334kB – xml) fails already during translation to wxr with:
SyntaxError: junk after document element: line 1115, column 23998
So that is a total failure.
Unfortunately, I do not understand your alternative
open a wordpress.com blog and import your blogger blog to that
Isn’t that what I have been trying to do with the wxr files?

I resolved the problems I had with the largest blog: I re-exported the file. That xml file turned out to be much smaller, translated and imported well.
The blog file with pictures left out had that problem already on the blogger site.
The issue is due to a change on Google’s end. WordPress.com has already compensated for the change and a fix is being worked into WordPress(.org). If the work-around I linked to didn’t work, you should be able to import the Blogger blog into a wordpress.com blog. Then, export the wordpress.com blog and import it into your self-hosted WordPress blog. It’s a “Texas two-step,” but it should work.
