 * I have WP setup the way I would like. Along the way, I made several test posts
   and comments to verify things were the way I wanted. Is there an easy way to 
   reset the posts and comments? I know I could just delete them, but I want the
   posts auto-increment counter set back to 0. I have access to phpmyadmin. Thanks
   for your expertise.

 * The posts increment counter is just a unique ID for the database: you don’t need
   to worry about it.
