 * Thinking of migrating a dictionary website to WP where new entries are entered
   as posts. My problem is how to copy the existing entries as posts. Each entry
   is a row in an SQL table with columns for ‘entry_name’, ‘description’ and ‘tags’(
   a comma separated list of keywords). I have copied the entries and descriptions
   to wp_posts.post_titles and post_content, but how do I copy the tags?
