 * We had a blog that was hosted on joomla platform. We asked the network that was
   hosting us to provide us a backup file for all of the articles we wrote in our
   3 years with them.
 * They provided us with a 6mb file: wizardsextremebackup.sql
 * How can I get this uploaded to our new site so that we don’t lose all the articles
   we had previously written?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * You can’t import a Joomla database backup into a WordPress site. Is the old Joomla
   site still up & running?

 * no, unfortunately due to some bad relations we took the site offline before we
   could do any sort of transfer. When i asked the hosts for a backup file, they
   provided me with the sql file.

 * Then I’m sorry but I don’t think there’s much you can do. 🙁
