  I recently just moved from my hosted plan to this wordpress.com service. I have all the SQL from my old site, but no way to put it in. Was not able to export it from my hosted plan since that feature was not available. Is there any documentation for the new WXR format that I could write a script to export my posts into that format from SQL? Or a way to have my posts loaded another way from the SQL?

  unfortunately, the best way would have been to use the exporter plugin while you still had the hosted setup

  probably still the best way is to set up XAMPP on your home computer, install wordpress, import the SQL table using phpMyAdmin, and run the exporter plugin.
