Note: 
-----------------------------------------------------------------	

By using this script, you are at your own risk. By using it, you 
agree to not hold me responsible for any errors or damages.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions: 
-----------------------------------------------------------------

1. Upload the plugin file (extwp.php) into your Wordpress directory 
under /wp-content/plugins/

2. Open your adminstration panel and go to Plugins and activate 
it by clicking Activate next to the description of Other-Ext-WP.

3. Now you should see a link to Other-Ext-WP under your plugins 
sub-menu (next to Plugin-Editor for example). Go to Other-Ext-WP.

4. Now just read the instructions. Options:

	A.	Add Comments or Not - If you want to transfer comments 
	as well. It will make the plugin take longer.
	
	B.	Select Users - From the current Wordpress users, 
	which user should all the posts be authored to.
	
	C.	Path - If the plugin can detect where Cutenews is 
	it will show the path and a text box. You don't need 
	to enter anything into the text box unless the plugin 
	has the wrong path or you have an alternate installation. 
	If it cannot detect the path, it will present an input box 
	that you need to enter the path for. Remember "../" means 
	up one directory.

5. Click transfer and the process will begin. Depending on the 
number of posts and comments feature, it may take a while. Do 
not close until you get a confirmation message.

6. When it is complete, delete the plugin from the server.
If you have problems or need support, please contact me at my site.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Features on Comments & Entries:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When the plugin is transferring, it strips all code tags on both 
entries and comments. When the comments are transferring, ONLY 
the comments, it marks all comments with a link as SPAM. You will 
need to go back and check for yourself. However, it is safe to say 
that most of the comments will be, in fact, spam.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Beta Notice:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Use this plugin at your own risk. It is still in a final beta stage. 
Please report any errors, bugs, or code improvements, as well as 
comments and feedback to www.nexterous.com/scripts under the 
Other-Ext-WP section. You can submit improved code to me, if you 
would like, and I will credit you in the README if I use it. 
Contact me for more information or feedback.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notice:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This plugin does not persist many security features. It requires 
a Wordpress admin to activate. Please delete the plugin after its 
use because it can be abused or worse, you use it twice and it doubles 
up the posts and comments. Remember to back-up your database before 
use. Thank you!
