A WordPress plugin that helps users to migrate their sites to WordPress.com

This useful WordPress (v.2.3+ & PHP 4+) plugin allows Cutenews users to transfer their Cutenews installation into WordPress, including categories, posts, and comments. It uses custom functions to read the information from Cutenews and format into WordPress compatible data. Then, the plugin uses the WordPress API functions to enter the data into the database. It places the posts into their correct categories and supports the transfer of comments, which will retain their proper information as well. This script is easy-to-use and is available under the GNU General Public License (like WordPress).
<h3>Features on Comments & Entries</h3>
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.
