 * As a follow-up for the benefit of the group, I want to share the resolution of
   this issue. The destruction I’d done to my blog was understated in my previous
   post. While I had mysql tables containing my old posts, I didn’t have a full,
   working mysql db. I expected to have to write a program to extract all my posts
   and categories and emit them into a format wordpress could ingest. I knew this
   would take a great deal of effort and would likely take a week or more given 
   my unfamiliarity with wordpress.
 * In desperation, I contacted whooami through her blog and asked if she’d help 
   me. Did she ever – my blog was back up and running the following evening! She
   was very easy+pleasant to deal with, needed almost no help/info from me, and 
   under-charged me grossly. She literally just fixed it. Now I’m on the latest+
   greatest version of wordpress.
 * If you find yourself in a similar bind, you might try looking her up…
 * Thank you, whooami!

 * Whoa.
 * That sounds involved, but I guess I can only thank you for such detailed and 
   helpful instructions… Thank you!
