[plug] help needed to rebuild wordpress website

[David Godfrey]

Hi Jon,

I've had no personal experience migrating wordpress as you are right 
now, but there are currently 522 people logged in to #wordpress on 
freenode IRC.
It is a fair bet that you will get good information fairly quickly from 
there.

Regards
David G
