    I have been reading the posts here regarding moving a .com blog to a new host, and I'm totally at a loss...I'm new to all this.
    Anyway, I got a Yahoo! host and I activated wordpress blog and it forced creation of a new blog. ok, I'm thinking no big deal. I just place my old one on top of this one, and I should be ok. but I can't seem to get it to work, mainly because I barely know what I'm doing.

    Could someone help me with a step by step approach to how I do this? I installed the import plugins, but really I am clueless. I just want the theme and content of my http://khalilanddiday.wordpress.com blog to be transferred to my http://www.khalilanddiday.com
    I had a hard time following the previous posts, so can I have the newbie version? the other posts I've seen assume certain knowledge I am without. Thanks in advance!!!

    First of all I'd either install a fresh copy of WordPress or upgrade that Yahoo blog to 2.3. That yahoo blog is probably 2.0.2.

    Once you are at 2.3, then use the Export function from your WordPress.COM blog and use the Import function on your yahoo blog.

    Notes on dealing with yahoo install/upgrades:
