 * When I try to import a wordpress.com blogroll into wordpres.org, wordpress says:“
   The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the
   HTML form.”
 * My wordpress.2010-01-17.xml file is about 80KB..
    My host is windows based, I
   have admin..
 * When I import via “Specify an OPML URL:” it says success, but my posts are not
   imported..

 * Edit `wp-admin/import/opml.php`
 * Modify line 42 by replacing the `value=30000` by something more in line with 
   the size of your OPML file
 * `<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />`
 * Save your file, reload your import page.
