Setup
------------------------------------------------------

1. Download and Unzip the uploads.zip archive

2. Copy the freshly extracted uploads folder to your wordpress installation (typically wp-content/uploads)

3. There are two ways to import the data, you only need to do 1, however I have provided both an XML (RECOMMENDED) and a 
SQL option so you can use whichever suits you better.
  a. XML OPTION (RECOMMENDED): Use the file wordpress_test_data.xml If you choose the .xml option, you will need to use 
  the import functionality in the Wordpress admin panel (located under tools)
  b. SQL OPTION: Use the file wordpress_test_data.sql - If you choose the .sql option, you will need GUI tool such as 
  phpmyadmin or working knowledge of mysql's command line interface to continue. This is just data. You will need to 
  have setup your wordpress database first. If the database is not brand new, empty the tables wp_comments, wp_links, 
  wp_postmeta, wp_posts, wp_term_relationships, wp_term_taxonomy and wp_terms 
  
4. Using the file for the option you have selected, open it in a text editor such as notepad, textmate, etc.

5. Find and Replace all instances of "http://wordpress.milabs.org/wp-content/uploads" with your server and path to the 
uploads directory that you copied the data into in step one. This may be http://localhost/wp-content/uploads if you did 
this locally, or you may need to set your domain if you are testing on a remote machine.

6. Save the file

7. Using either the Import tool in the Wordpress Admin Panel [Tools > Import] (Option A) or a SQL editor of your choice 
(Option B), import the test data.

8. Have fun testing your Wordpress theme, plugin, whatever you need this testing data for :)

I hope this is helpful to you, if it is all I ask is that if you add any additional data, find any bugs or update it for 
a new configuration (say an updated Wordpress or MySQL), that you please contribute back to the project.
