 * I want to import my blogspot blog to wordpress.org. However, everytime, I get
   this message right after I allow access with my google account:
 * > We were not able to gain access to your account. Try starting over.
 * I read that you could get around this problem by importing it to a wordpress.
   com blog first, and then into my wordpress.org, but I get the exact same error
   message.
 * Help anyone, please? My blogger blog is the new blog, and my wordpress is the
   newest version also, I believe. (I just installed it yesterday)

 * I had this working fine two weeks ago, now it doesn’t work.
 * Steps to replicate:
    1) Tried with 2.2.2, standard GUI import. Went to | Import
   | Authorize. Failed
 * > Trouble signing in
   >  We were not able to gain access to your account. Try starting
   > over.
 * 2) After trying this with several different self hosted blogs, I tried this with
   the wordpress.com account.
    3) Same message resulted.
 * This appears to be a conflict with Blogger. Is this a known problem, and if so,
   how do we report it to Blogger as this looks to be their permissions not allowing
   us to do this?

 * Just want to add to this thread – I am having the same problem with 2.2.2, I 
   tried several different blogger blogs all with the same error – “Trouble logging
   in”.
 * I will report it to Blogger but unfortunately I’ve never had much luck getting
   support from them in the past.
