Tonight I have finally added the final touches to it and can now share it here with you.</p> <p>If you don&rsquo;t remember, I wrote it because my good friend <strong>Evandro</strong> from <a href="http://www.quartoestudio.com/en/">QuartoEstudio.com</a> is always getting asked by some of his clients to migrate an existing web blog to a new host/domain and hands him a tarball containing the exported content of a <strong>WordPress</strong> blog in <strong>XML</strong> format. The problem resides on the issue that some web hosting providers will limit how big a file can be uploaded via a POST method, and depending on how big this XML file is, you may have to manually break it into smaller files first.</p>
