 * Hello,
 * New here and I had a question, I want to import old posts from my previous WP1.5
   blog. In the phpMyAdmin database it still has my old posts in these tables(apt11_posts&
   apt11_comments). I’m not sure how to go about adding them to the new current 
   table (wp_posts & wp_comments).
 * If someone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
 * Thanks all!

 * Oooook, I think I really goofed. I thought copying my old tables to my new one
   would add them to the table. Instead it overwrote everything.
 * fark! Now I REALLY could use some assistance.
