How to Use an XML File Template on WordPress

1. Sign in to your WordPress account. Scroll down the left side of the Dashboard until you reach the 'Tools' menu, then select 'Import.'
2. Choose the name of the blogging platform from which you want to import an XML file. Examples include 'Movable Type' and 'TypePad.' Choose the 'Browse' button, locate the XML file on your hard drive and click 'Open.' Select the 'Import' button.

3. Wait for WordPress to inform you that the import has been successful. View the blog in a separate tab or window to see that your old posts, tags, categories and comments now show within WordPress.
