  Hey,

  I used the function to back-up my blog. How would I import the backed up blog to wordpress?

  Thanks

  Dashboard -> Manage -> Import. It’ll ask you the location of your file. I wouldn’t be doing it this late in the day though. This is when the servers are being used the most.

  I check that out and it only gives me options to import from another blog, nothing about from file. I dont have my wordpress hosted on the wordpress server Its on another one.

  You should be asking over at http://wordpress.org since you’re now running different software than we are here but there is a FAQ on teh subject that includes a link to the plugin that you need.

  Hope this helps,
