Moving a WordPress Blog Need Some Help Please

Hi Fellow Warriors,

I currently have my blog set up as mydomain.com/blog but I would like to move my blog off my domain to another domain.

It is a WordPress blog and both domains are hosted on the same account, I have FTP and cPanel access if it is needed.

I want to install WordPress on the new domain then import theme as well as all blog posts that are currently posted on mydomain.com/blog then I want to delete the blog from my main site.

I know it can be done, probably fairly easily by some fellow Warrior gurus but I am at a loss as to where to start.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Kim

Thanks, I am not sure this is what I had in mind, it seems like this is for moving it to another part of the same site I wanted to move to a new domain altogether.

  Same thing. I'm assuming there is a different file location (folder) for the domain in which you plan to switch to.
  
  Just install do the steps that require to move the blog to a different server, but inside the destination folder on your current server.
