 * Firstly, using WP 1.2.2 just because I wanted to be sure I was stable to start
   with. 😉 Plan on upgrading sometime later to a nightly build.
 * Downloaded my .sql file from the server, renamed it import.txt (I assume this
   is right)
 * Uploaded and then proceeded to the import file. It says all the posts have been
   imported, but *nothing* has been. I’m confused. I tried with the unaltered .sql
   file and the same thing happens.
 * I’ve checked the database directly and there’s nothing there. MT version is 3.11,
   jic there’s a issue with that version. Site in question is in my profile…WP is
   in /blog/
 * Thanks!

 * MT itself has a feature to export all of your posts as a .txt file. That is what
   you want.

 * I have an issue. I switched webhosts and also from MT to WordPress. I exported
   my MySQL DB as mentioned above before I cut ties with my previous host. Now I
   can’t get to my old MT installation and obviously I can’t import the MT stuff.
   Does anyone know if there is another way other than installing MT temporarily
   to get the data out of it? Thanks.
