 * As I said in another post, I’m converting my content from a custom made CMS into
   WordPress. However, I want it to be as less hassle as possible.
 * Is there a file that I can include in my conversion script, that I can then use
   functions from to filter the content I have, as if I was entering all of the 
   posts via the wp-admin?

 * Including `wp-config.php` should get you everything.

 * Thanks, Matt.
 * Could anyone point me in the right direction as to the most important functions
   I should use? Mainly for converting Titles, Excerpts and the actual post content?
