[wp-pro] Paid MT -> WordPress conversion

[Komra Moriko]

Hi Les,

It is possible to import the post ID's from MT to WP intact.

I have done a number of conversions from MT to WP and would be glad to  
talk with you on the phone about the issue. From there we can decide  
if I am the one who can help you, etc. I am in my office all day  
today, would you like to set up a time to talk?

best, K
