[pLog-svn] WP importer?

[Jon Daley]

 	I got the guy's database, and started to take a look at it.
WP has sub-categories, so I guess I can't do anything with that.

 	I am not sure what to do with the wp_tags table, is that 
automatically generated, or did he manually create his tags?

 	Everything else doesn't look too bad. Their resources are just 
uploaded to a directory, so it is a simple copy-and-paste for that.
