 * So I’m working on a migration of a pretty big blog to WordPress. I’ve run one
   test import and it worked beautifully including tags and categories – impressive.
   However, the authors are completely screwed up. I have over 50 authors and few(
   if any) of the migrated posts are showing the correct author – it seems as if
   authors have been randomly assigned to the posts, I can’t find any pattern. Anyone
   have any thoughts on this? Right now, wordpress hasn’t been modified at all, 
   just a totally vanilla template set, no plugins. I could re-run the import if
   necesary…
