 * OK.
 * Called support and figured out how to upload the backup file. Did that successfully.
   I can now browse through the tables and all the information seems to be there.
 * However, the admin panel still says there are no posts and no pages, even though
   I can find them in the database table. I have no idea how this should all be 
   structured, but obviously WP is finding the database, but no post data.
 * Any suggestions? Thanks.

 * Samboli,
 * Thanks. I did not know about permalinks and have now reset them.
 * I’ve read the instructions in the Codex (although not a techie, I am not one 
   to post support questions without doing research first).
 * Here’s my problem. From the Codex:
 * >  1. Login to phpMyAdmin.
   >  2. Click databases, and select the database that 
   > you will be importing your data into. 3. You will then see either a list of
   > tables already inside that database or a screen that says no tables exist. 
   > This depends on your setup. 4. Across the top of the screen will be a row of
   > tabs. **Click the Import tab.** 5. On the next screen will be a Location of
   > Text File box, and next to that a button named Browse. 6. Click Browse. Locate
   > the backup file stored on your computer. 7. Make sure the SQL radio button 
   > is checked. 8. Click the Go button.
 * _There is no Import tab._ There’s an Export tab, but no Import–not anywhere in
   the interface that I can find. This is PHPMyAdmin 2.7.0. Is there any reason 
   why that might be the case?
 * Thanks again.

 * Thanks very much. After mucking around for a bit, I decided to delete the blog
   and re-install. That seems to be working just fine.
