I have a free WordPress blog and recently made the switch to a hosted blog. I'd like to import everything from the old to the new...but the max is 2mb and my export file is 2.19. How would I go about reducing this without deleting anything from the old blog and making another export file? I just don't want to lose anything from the old blog, but in order to make it smaller it seems from my limited knowledge that's what I have to do.

Posted 4 years ago #right. I've been looking around and some of these responses to similar questions say that you can change the upload maximum, but I don't know where or how to do that. Will I need to contact the host to change the upload max?
