Goal: To assure that every weblog post appears on the home page. And to assure that every weblog post belongs to one category only. Namely, the 'iceplant radio daze' category.

Why: Once my goal is achieved, I intend to export the entire site to an RSS Backlog file using Steve Hooker's backLogAllRSS tool. Then, I will import that into WordPress 2.0. I was referring to this Wiki article from one user who recounted the steps he took to convert from Radio to WordPress if you want more background on what I'm trying to accomplish once I cleanup my posts.

How: I've broken it down into the following steps and assumptions. I don't know UserTalk but if you do, and would like to help, please look at the following and let me know if you can help. Thanks.

1. Change all posts in the weblogData.posts table to meet these two requirements:

* post must appear on home page (flNotOnHomePage = false)
* post must get assigned to the 'iceplant radio daze' category. 'iceplant radio daze' should be the only category. any other categories (old ones that have been deleted for instance) that might already exist should be removed.

2. Copy link field to beginning of post.

If the post contains a link in the Item-level Link field, the script should insert that link directly into the post, right at the beginning with the text, "[Original Link]" and that text should be a clickable link.

Example:

[Original Link] This is the text of the post. Notice how the link that used to appear in the Item-level Link field now appears at the beginning of this post as a clickable link?

Thanks if you can help.
