 * Out of a list of 70 items within my XML file, there seem to be about half of 
   them resulting in the message ‘Could not insert post into the database’. There
   is no other explanation, and nothing obvious within the XML that would differentiate
   between items.
 * Any ideas as to what triggers this message?
 * Here’s an extract of the first 10 items, you can see how random it is.
    1.  Could not insert post into the database
    2.  Could not insert post into the database
    3.  Could not insert post into the database
    4.  Processing “Developing Psychic Abilities” done.
    5.  Could not insert post into the database
    6.  Could not insert post into the database
    7.  Processing “Enhancing Psychic Abilities” done.
    8.  Processing “How Can A Psychic Reading Help You?” done.
    9.  Processing “Psychic Skills: Clairaudience” done.
    10. Processing “How Can I Get The Most Out Of My Psychic Readings?” done.
