[wp-hackers] $wpdb query

[ryan fitzer]

Cori, thanks. I'll give this a try. Makes sense.
Robin, not a stupid question. I'm placing the query right after the first
page INSERT query. So I'm figuring that the post is setup at this point.
Right?
After I get this to work I'll try updating the codex as well as well as
adding in the parts about sub-pages and sub-cats.
Thanks again for the help.
