 * [I’ve searched the forum on this and though it’s been asked a couple of times,
   I didn’t come across a decent answer.]
    I’ve imported some posts from Blogger
   and a couple of them have got merged together (3 guys called “mark”!). It there
   a quick and easy way that the admin can transfer posts over? Even if it’s done
   the way we edit post categories and so on? At the moment, all I can think of 
   is signing in as both users and cut-and-pasting from one to the other! Is it 
   possible thru phpmyadmin?

 * phpmyadmin would be the safest way to do considering all the authors have same
   names 😐

 * Well, I’ve changed the names now. I’m generally only really stupid once a day.:
   o)
    Do you know how I would do it in phpmyadmin, given that I wouldn’t be transfering_
   all _of the posts from one author to another. Is there some way to look at post
   titles or content and quickly change the author?

 * Well I would sort them into a new special cat. Then I would do the phpmyadmin
   thing.
