2. Yeah - just do the normal export to the .xml file from blogHi, then in WordPress go to manage -> import -> wordpress and have it point to your .xml file.
   
   If you get the "too big" message like some of the others have you need to cut the file down by adding tags and saving as separate files.

4. Well... you would need to find out where the end tags are. For example, in my xml file it ends with:
   
   ;/wp:comment>
   ;/item>
   ;/channel>
   ;/rss>
   
   Where ; is < (an open tag).
   
   So, you would basically have to find where the originating wp:comment, item, channel, and rss tags are, then add more open tags where you inserted your closing tags to break it down into smaller pieces.
   
   For a better idea, I'd look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html.
