blogger can't import wordpress posts!

I was on wordpress before. Thought of moving to blogger, as wordpress want me to pay for each and everything more than what they consider 'basic'.

1. I went my wordpress dashboard->settings->export
2. exported an xml file (selected all as an option, to include posts, tags comments etc)
3. Then I created a blogger, went to settings->other->import blog
4. my xml files was just in Kbs, nevertheless, the blogger went on taking hours to import
5. What I noticed is that it was stuck on first post itself to import. Then I learnt that to import from wordpress to blogger, a conversion is needed.
6. So, go to wordpress to blogger convertor and get your xml file converted.
7. Try repeating step #3. 
8. It should work!
