Best way to move blog? (2 posts)

    Hello all!

    I am getting ready to move my blog. I need to move it to a new hosting account and URL. I am wondering what would be the best way to do this.

    Should I:

    back up the WP MySQL database and then reinsert on the new account?

    or

    Should I export the data to an extended RSS file or WXR file? and then import it?

    I want the new blog to have all of the same post, categories and comments as the old one. Also, I might have different versions of WP running on each account. Do I need to install a current version on the old blog before i try to move the data over?

    Any help that anyone has, would be great!
