The node import module - bulk imports of content made easy

Website developers reading this will all agree - it can be quite a pain when a client is moving from some archaic static html site (or CMS) over to a dynamic site - especially when there is a lot of content to move over.

Well, to make things easier I suggest putting all the old content into a spreadsheet and then dumping it into the new Drupal site you've made for them... "What a second," you say, "how can I dump a bunch of content easily into my Drupal site?"  Well, all you need is the node import module folks; its a great tool that plays nicely with the CCK; so you can prepare a CSV file with all the content you want and then import each row as a node!  When you import the data the module asks which fields map to which column in the CSV so don't worry; if you're focused when doing imports, the whole process should be pretty clean and straight-forward!
