 * I have not been able to import links using the links panel. I’ve tried blogrolling.
   com’s links, blo.gs links, and importing an OPML file. No matter what I do, I
   get the following:
 * Importing…
    XML error: no element found at line 1
 * Inserted 0 links into category 1.
 * I’ve searched on the forums, as well as the rest of the internet, but havent 
   had any success.
    I’m running wordpress 2.0.2 URL is [http://x.johndoro.com](http://x.johndoro.com)

    <!– OPML generated by Blogrolling.
   com –> <opml version=”1.1″> <head> <title>my blogroll</title>
 * That is what I have, which is what is generated by blogrolling.com

 * Hmm.. What version of PHP are you running?
 * Also, how are you trying to import these? From a URL, or from your local disk?

 * My hosting provider has 5.0 running. It also reports the same error if I try 
   to import from a file or if I try the URL.
