 * 1st off, I am not a developer….I’m changing Hosts Which means finding another
   way to maintain my site….I spoke with Bluehost and they said I could switch over
   my files to wordpress and still get the WYSIWYG format….Really? How do I do this.
   And if I’m using Blue host what then? Sorry very clueless.

 * If Bluehost have offered to do this for you, then, in theory, you do not have
   to do anything.

 * I guess what I’m confused about is…Can you take files from a website that is 
   already being hosted by a company which allows for WYSIWYG and transfer them 
   to a new hosting site and still be able to have that WYSIWYG ability? Does that
   make more sense?

 * Thanks all, I guess I’ll just talk to Blue Host then to get the ball rolling.
