Wordpress2blogger error occured during conversion about google-blog-converters-appengine

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi

I am not an expert but I hope I can help.
This error message SAXParseException: :4043:381: not well-formed (invalid token)
Means that the xml is "wrong" (non valid) at line 4043, the 381th character in 
this
line. (Use for exampel notepad++ to see this file). It is certainly an html tag
(<something> or </something>) which was missed..therefore the converter cannot 
make
sense of what it reads.

First back-up your xml, then try to delete the tag in this place...and repeat 
the
process until it passes ;-) As it happens on the 4000th lien only, I hope you 
may not
have too much of those and it may be achievable "by hand". Otherwise if you are
curious to learn (which I did for a similar reason)...look on the web for 
"regular
expressions" to clean up your xml (notepad++delas with that, editpad-pro is 
quite
good as well)

Hi

Thanks so much for your help.

I tried to find the tag that was causing all the problems, but I couldn't, so I 
just
deleted my tags and tried to convert it to blogger.  But there's still an error
coming up: 

Error encountered during conversion.

In fact, Wordpress-to-Blogger is not a converting utility. I tried with my 
several
blogs, hosted in wordpress.com and wordpress.org as well, every time  problem 
exits.

I tried with both blogger & blogger draft too, but the former displays the info 
as
below whilst the later (draft.blogger.com) displays just ERROR IMPORTING ...
 Also tried with checked/unchecked publish post...
