Brilliant! I have passed this information onward and I have a request. Could you please devote a post to explaining domains and domain mapping and the advantages of having your own domain?

11:07 pm :: January 28th, 2008This is something that I want to get to at some point; I just need to find a bit of time to sit down and get everything in order. Not sure about domain mapping though - never done that!

Hi Wolfie-
First, thanks for the PDF file of tips–much appreciated by all of us out here.
I’m scouring the internet for help.
I’ve just started to go self-hosted–> from WP.com to self hosted using WP software on Blue Host. I’m trying to import my blog XML file, BUT it’s too large. It’s 3+ MB and the WP software says it can only import 2MB file or smaller. What can i do? I’ve seen some posts talking about ’splitting up’ the XML file into smaller files…but i don’t understand how to do this and need step by step instructions. Can you offer me some help, please??
THanks!!
Lisa
