How to Import an ActiveRain Blog to WordPress

1. Export your ActiveRain blog to an XML file. Click 'Export Blog Entries' on your ActiveRain blog, and click 'Save File' to download the file to your computer.
2. Double-click the file on your computer to unzip it. An 'activerain-import.php' file appears; double-click it.

3. Transfer the 'activerain-import.php' file to your WordPress plugins folder using your favorite FTP program. The plugins folder is located in the 'wp-content' folder. Exactly how you do this depends on your FTP program, but generally you have to click and drag the file from your hard drive to the plugins directory on WordPress.
4. Log in to your WordPress blog.
5. Click 'Plugins' and 'Activate' under 'ActiveRain Importer.'
6. Click 'Tools' and 'ActiveRain Import Plugin.'
7. Locate the 'blog_entries.xml' file on your hard drive and click 'Upload file and import.'
8. Click 'Published' or 'Draft' from the drop-down menu, then click 'Submit.'
