 * I had around 15 posts on one of my old websites. I was hosting on a friends server
   and all of sudden he forgot to pay and right now cannot afford it. I was able
   to backup the MYSQL database and all the files but I was not able to export any
   of the posts. I was wondering if there was a tool or some way or some how I could
   pull the posts from the backup of MYSQL database and pull the posts off of it
   and put it on my new blog.
 * Please I need help with this badly.

 * The posts are in the mysql database (along with comments, settings, etc.). If
   your new blog does not have any posts yet _and_ it’s a WordPress blog, then you
   can probably use the mysql database on it. We’ll need more information, though.

 * Yeah I have found the posts inside of the mysql database problem is one part 
   of the database is corrupted. I did not back up the database I had my friend 
   do it and I tried importing the database to mysql via phpmyadmin and it saying
   that it is corrupted and no database targeted.

 * Might try using a text editor and look for each post in that sql backup file 
   and copy and paste into an actual post.
