 * Is there a way to convert SQL to XML? I am trying to build a dating website and
   needed to import profiles. The profiles need to be in SQL because of the photos
   but WordPress.com stated that they use XML not SQL. The solution was to find 
   another host or seek help from WordPress.org to build the site. Any suggestions?
   
   I am not very tech savvy so coding language would be challenging, but I do need
   help!My only other option would be to seek another server but then I would have
   to build the site over again and then try to work out using an SQL database with
   Go Daddy. HELP PLEASE!!!

 * You can’t really “convert SQL to XML”, you can, however, export a SQL database
   to XML. SQL is a way of pulling data from a database. XML is like a data structure
   that developers parse with a programming language and extra info from.
 * It sounds like you’ll need to find someone to write an import function for your
   SQL data (I assume it’s an exported file) that is imported into WordPress properly.
