 * I’ve been trying to import an xml database that happens to be 6 mb to my blog.
   The maximum upload size is 2mb and I can’t figure out how to change it. I’ve 
   been searching the web for a couple of days now looking for a solution, but none
   have worked.
 * Whenever I edit .htaccess I get 500 internal server error, and I really don’t
   understand why there isn’t a more simple way to increase maximum upload size.
 * Anyways, i would really appreciate some help on this issue 😀

 * May need to talk with your host or break the xml file into pieces.
