To\tget around this, use a _real_ web browser.- cp the export into /doc_root/wordpress/wp-admin/import.txt- Edit the file:  import-mt.php\t\tChange this line:\t----------------------------------------------------\tdefine('MTEXPORT', '');\tdefine('MTEXPORT', 'import.txt');\t----------------------------------------------------- That's it.  Make sure that the import.txt file is (777) and then open yourbrowser to this page:http://your_site.com/wordpress/wp-admin/import-mt.php- Follow the instructions (click click click)- Set up user accounts and import old users.- That's pretty much it.  There are, of course, many tweaks and customizationplugins that can be enabled.  Plugins and documentation can be found here:http://wp-plugins.net/Have fun with WP.
