Hello everyone,
I checked the previous posts but I couldnt find the correct topic or there is no specific problem such mine.
Here is my problem. I am hosting my blog on my private computer. However, I bought a web site from dreamhost and I want to move my entire blog there.
I am using version 2.0.4 so there is not much of a backup utility. I created my own theme and using it at the moment.
How can I export my blog (with comments etc..) and move it to the new blog at dreamhost?
Thank you for your time...

WOW! Thank you very much! That worked perfectly! :)
However, one problem occured after all of the operations, which is encoding.
It is occured like out of nowhere. Some of the characters in my blog are like "ve her seferinde de ba�?i�? yapiyorum." (Hope it can be seen here) And UTF-8 is chosen under settings, as in the previous (OLD) blog. I tried to change/ edit the blogs, and nothing changed.
Any ideas?
Might be an encoding error with the databases. Check the encoding on both databases.

I have managed to solve the issue by this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/55282?replies=10#post-303707
All I had to do was add the line:
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
to the file /wp-includes/wp-db.php right after line 43 (where it makes the database connection).
BUT my control panel has still encoding problems, therefore editing posts will be a disaster...! :(
Any other suggestions?

My OLD and corretly working databases are latin5_turkish_ci and UTF-8 is selected from the control panel of WordPress...
What has happened to result in this situation? :(

By the way, my OLD sql version was 4, and the newer one is 5... I guess that could also be a problem...
