This post is primarily a test to make sure everything’s working okay now that I think it’s been fully migrated over to the new host. From what I can tell so far, things look really good and the process wasn’t hard at all. This post should confirm that I’m done if it all works nicely (post, trackback, etc.).

If you find yourself needing to migrate a WordPress blog to a new host, I recommend you head over to this site and follow the directions provided. The only thing that gave me a bit of trouble was the fact that the two hosts I was working with have different versions of mysql installed (old host had 4.1.21 and the new host has 4.0.27). This difference in version was causing a MySql error #1064 which turned out to be a pretty popular topic in the WordPress support forums.

The way I got around the error was selecting mysql40 compatibility when exporting the tables from my ex-host. That did the trick for me and everything else worked as described in the guide I linked to above.
