 * I’m migrating our WP blog from one server to another and have tried several times
   to export our existing data using the export function in the admin; however, 
   regardless of whether or not I choose all authors or just a single author.
 * We need to migrate the blog ASAP (I’d love some help, pro or otherwise) and I
   need to know if there is a patch or trick to exporting or if we’re going to have
   to use the more complicated MySQL route.
