 * I thought I’d seen a way to connect a mass number of posts to another category,
   like a plugin or such. Heck, I thought I even used it, but now I can’t find it.
 * Anyone know how to do this?

 * Could also just do a manual SQL query, but the above looks like it’d be easier.
   🙂
 * Just make sure to backup your database just in case!

 * I tried sticking that batch-cat plugins in both plugins and admin directories.
   I can’t don’t see any changes and it doesn’t show up as a plugin. I’m just going
   to do it manually I guess.
