I realize that the following script is not going to be that useful to that many people, but if you are using iWriter to write your posts, are using BuildMyRank and also using ASP and want to import a lot of posts at the time then you may find it useful.
Not the neatest of code, but does the job and shouldn’t be hard to convert to PHP if needed.
Love to hear any comments as usual…
