    my blog host recently crashed... again.
    I've decided to move my blog posts over to wordpress.com
    the problem is, wp.com is asking for a .wrx file while I've been backing up my blog in a .sql file.
    How do I convert the .sql file to a .wrx file?

    you dont. an .sql file is a complete database dump, whereas a .wxr is a dump of just content

    this ought to help you ..
