 * Looking for some help on a little issue that I have. I’ve got an old website 
   that has an ancient news story database in Access. I need to find a way to import
   those items into WordPress.
 * I actually went through and converted it to the same layout/formatting as the
   wp_posts table, but then I was reading that WP refers to other tables for each
   post.
 * So is there another solution than trying to drop the data in? Or is that the 
   best option?
 * I’m going to end up having to do this for other websites down the road so I figured
   I may as well ask. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
