 * 1. Download the conversion script and rename it to .php rather than .php.txt
   
   2. Take a backup of your b2evolution database, just in case (if you’re on Windows,
   SQLyog is a good, free program for working with MySQL databases). 3. Download
   the latest version of WordPress and upload it to your site using your FTP program.
   You don’t have to delete the b2evolution files yet. You will have to overwrite
   the existing index.php file with the one from WordPress though. 4. Make sure 
   you know the connection details for you b2evolution database – if you’re not 
   sure, you can find the information in the _config.php file of your b2evolution
   install (in the conf folder). 5. Fire up your browser and go to [www.yousite.
   com]/wp-admin/install.php. Run through the normal WordPress install procedure,
   but make sure you enter the same database details you use for b2evolution (including
   the database name). This will create the required WordPress tables alongside 
   your exisiting b2evolution tables in the one database. 6. Upload import-b2evolution-
   wp2.php to your site, in the wp-admin folder, and fire it up in your browser:[
   www.yoursite.com]/wp-admin/import-b2evolution-wp2.php. Follow the instructions,
   making sure to enter the same database details from the last step. You should
   hopefully see a success message, in which case your b2evolution posts, comments,
   links, users etc. will have been copied into the WordPress tables. 7. Remember
   to delete the install.php and import-b2evolution-wp2.php files in the wp-admin
   folder. Now go to your blog’s home page, and you should see the default WordPress
   install, populated with your posts from b2evolution. 8. If this has worked, you
   can safely delete your b2evolution files (be careful not to delete any files 
   you might want to keep, such as those in your media or skins folders) and delete
   any database tables prefixed with evo_ (but don’t delete any prefixed with wp_).
   9. Permalinks. Obviously you don’t want to break the links to your old posts,
   which were probably in the format /year/month/day/post_title in b2evolution. 
   If you turn on date and name based permalinks in WordPress, you’ll find spaces
   replaced with dashes rather than underscores in links for new posts. However,
   your old posts will still work even though they use underscores. Sweet.
 * Hope that helps.

 * Please tell me how it goes!
