  I want to run wordpress.org, hosted by Godaddy. To accomplish that, the host asks me to upload my old blog’s sql database. That holds all of my entries. Then, it wants me to also export contents. I believe that I have to ftp them.

  any experience with this process?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We cannot get SQL dumps from wordpress.COM. What they have provided is an export file in XML format which you can import into the new blog once it is up and running.
