Transfer Posts to Hosted WordPress Site and Podpress?
-
Hello,
I’m sure this question has been answered before, but I searched and searched and the answer eludes me.
I was using a free wordpress account. It was jimgatos.wordpress.com. I just became a BlueHost customer and I would like to transfer my posts and if possible my whole site to my new BlueHost account, which is http://www.gatosblog.com … How could I do that? Also, one more question, I installed the Podpress plugin and it works.. The only thing I need to know is how do I post a Podcast (mp3) file with that? Do I have to transfer the podcast to my bluehost server? How?
I hope my questions were clear. WordPress is the best! I compared it to everything out there and there is nothing better!Thanks

BlueHost, huh? God I feel sorry for you….
Export out via Dashboard -> Manage -> Export. It’ll give you a file that you can import over at your new site. You can grab the importer plugin from here.
As to your other question, you’re going to have to ask over at the wordpress.org forums for help on it. I would strongly suggest actually stating which Podcast plugin you’re using because IIRC there’s a couple of them.

Okay, thanks.. I’ll see what I can do?
I can cancel Blue Host anytime in 30 days. Is there a Problem with them? They seemed to be the best from what I read.. Maybe I missed something?Jim

Perhaps a good way to determine how a web host is perceived by clients is to (1) use the forum search box over here http://wordpress.org/support and to (2) search blogs on the web using the web hosts name as a key word and (3) whenever someone is critical of a webhosting service you can ask them to provide specifics and links. Once you have an information base then you may know what to watch for during your 30 day trial period. Best of luck to you. I do hope everything works out well.:)

May want to read that and not believe all the promotional material you see on the net. They have a strong affliate program that offers up towards $105 per new account signed up.
