This is one...I'll probably have several...
IN the directions where we are advised to backup our blog, it says: "Make a backup of both the files (using FTP) and the Database (with a tool like PHPMyAdmin)..." Now, in my experience, backing up WP has been a simple matter, there's a few easy things that we do and then you press a button and Presto, in a few minutes it produces this big XML file with everything on it. I've successfully transferred my data from WP.com to WP.ORG this way, more than once. Wouldn't that big file have everything necessary for a transport over to PivotX?
