 * Just found out that the way the system’s figuring Textpattern’s posted-date out
   is wrong. The substr() is using wrong values.
 * /wp-admin/import-textpattern.php line 89-98 should look like this:
 * `
    
   $posted = $post['Posted'];
    // 20030216162119 $year = substr($posted,0,4);
   $month = substr($posted,5,2); $day = substr($posted,8,2); $hour = substr($posted,
   11,2); $minute = substr($posted,14,2); $second = substr($posted,15,2); $timestamp
   = mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day, $year); $posted = date('Y-m-d
   H:i:s', $timestamp);
 * Who shall I sent this to?
