Today, I moved my blog to a new host. I selected Bluehost. I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much I appreciated your detailed article above. I was very nervous having never had to use PHPMyAdmin to reload a database.

Thanks,
John

I’ve always installed Wordpress and then overwritten the database with my old content. It worked pretty well. But I didn’t need to overwrite the database.

A shorter process is much appreciated.
