How to best migrate content over to new site
I have a production TXP site on my servers with all articles and blog entries created. What is the most effective way to migrate that over to the new live site? This also applies to the sections that I created as well from the production site.

Re: How to best migrate content over to new site
I still prefer this much easier method using rss_admin_db_manager, but it does not always work. (It works flawless on Dreamhost, GoDaddy and some other mainstream hosts, but I run into problems on homegrown systems.) If this fails, I just perform a MySQL dump, create a blank DB on the new host, and import the data, all through PhpMyAdmin. This is similar to what is described on TextBook, but I just do a plain export/import and it works fine.
One of the things I love about Dreamhost is the ability to create a subdomain like client.kevinpottsdesign.com, develop the entire site start to finish, and just deploy onto another host. No XAMPP or any of that messiness required. They make my life gooder.
