Alright, readers! The construction is moving along. As usual, there are problems. I’m hoping one of you might have the knowledge I seek.
I want to migrate all my old posts from this blog to Wanderingjustin.com so it won’t look so barren. I followed the steps about exporting, saving to the desktop and uploading to the new site. I found the steps online in a few different places.
When I’m done, WordPress tells me “All Done: Have Fun.” When I click the link, though, I’m not seeing my old posts.
The XML file, by the way, is only 995 bytes. Any suggestions?
Don’t worry, I’ll start posting the fun stuff again soon. I’m thinking a little something about Waitomo Caves.

Justin,
I’ve never tried doing this before myself. But were I to try it I’d install a good backup plugin on my old site and do a database backup.
(I use the WP-DBManager but have no idea if it is the best one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-dbmanager/ )
Then I’d FTP the backup file to my new site, install the same theme (you can change it later) and the same backup plugin. Then I’d proceed as if I had lost my database and wanted to restore it.
It seems like that should work . . . in theory, at least.
Good luck! Looking forward to the new site.
