I am quite possibly a giant idiot, but this is what I am left with. I have a backup file from my old wordpress blog named:
"happenings_wp_20070127_028[1].sql"
Now is there ANY way I can make this import? (I tried doing it under 'import' but it doesn't work) Or is all hope lost?
I am so not techie, so please if there is a way explain it to me in detail and like I am 5...
I use dreamhost, if this helps.

I also have all the php files from said blog. Someone please help; I had everything from pregnancy to the birth of my son, to now, 6 months later on there!
Please please please there has to be something I can do!
You can't import a .sql file from within WordPress.
You must use phpmyadmin which your host should have in your site's control panel. Please read up on this.

Maybe this can be helpful.
