 * Hi
 * If you use the export link to move your posts to anew server.
 * Stop right there
 * If you use this function it changes all your post id,s
    So if you already have
   pages in google such as blahblah/234 it will change to blahblah/36 or whatever
 * As you are changing servers you keep your permalinks the same.
 * I have just had to redirect 301 70 posts, as if you write a post in your new 
   location and your next id is 91 and you already have Post out there with id 91
   your old post will now point to the new one regardless of the title of the post.
 * Just my bit to keep from have to go through this bloody hassle.
 * My fix for this was to change the old permalink structure from
 * /%postname%/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%post_id%
 * to /%postname%/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/ thus taking the ID out of the loop and
   then redirect all the old posts that were in googles index to to the new permalinsk
   structure
 * If any one has a better idea i would like to know..
 * Kev
