ps: if you're not familiar with all these steps, set apart a weekend for it. An experienced person might do it in a few hours or less.

ok, then you need to find info on the MT website.

The basic steps will be these:

1. backup your files to your local computer
2. backup your database (you know how to do this?)
3. Now you can either start a new MT install on your new host, and import all your entries (using MT's import/export mechanism), OR attempt to transfer your entire install by ftp-ing all the files, re-creating your database, chmodding all the right directories. I am not sure which approach is better.

You need to find the right details on the MT website, since this can be pretty complex.

Good luck!

thanks, Peter.  I have a movable type install, a blog with archives, some hosted videos.

I've logged in to the command line of my server, yes, with Terminal and have some basic unix knowledge but how to move it over to another account baffles me.

It depends: what do you have on your old website? A wordpress install
with a database? Just a flat website with files?

You will need to log in on the command line to your server. Have you
done that before?
