   I just got started with this and migrated my posts over from Blogger. Unfortunately the comments didn't come along. I found an updated script that seems to do the trick, except it skips over all the posts because they're duplicates. There must be a way to delete all of these posts so that I can import them again but with comments. Can anyone tell me how to do that? Thanks

   Go to your database manager, maybe phpmyadmin.
   1. Go to your database
   2. Go to the tables wp_posts and wp_comments. The first row should say for: wp_posts = ID and wp_comments=comment_ID.
   3. Check mark the the ID part and click Browse.
   4.There you will see your posts and comments. From there you can delete them.

   Add the wp_post2cat and (potentially) wp_postmeta tables to (2) in vrada's steps above. Also keep in mind if you modified the $table_prefix in wp-config.php when you installed WordPress, "wp_" in your table names (i.e. the table prefix) will be different.

   Wonderful. That did it, and the job's done. Thanks for your help!

   it would be a neat feature if there was simply a check box next to each post and so that one could selectively kill posts. (suggestion)
