Starting over

Well, it seems that moving to WordPress 2.9 requires a MySQL database that’s 4.1 or higher, and my host, 1and1 only supports 4.0 for their 4.x databases. So how can you go to 4.x to 5.x? Simple, backup your database, create a new one (5.x) and re-import your old data. Sounds easy right? Not at all. I backed up my data, both with PHPmyadmin, and WordPress backup, but it seems that PHPmyadmin wouldn’t take the backed up database into the new database. So now I get to start over! Awesome. I’ll see if I can’t copy and paste some of my better posts so I’m not missing that. Just a word of advice, don’t use 1and1 as your web host.
