[BNM] "Converting" a website to Drupal

[Nick Taylor]

How many pages are you talking about here?

I've got a sneaking suspish that you might be best just doing a copy and 
paste job straight from phpMyAdmin to Drupal.

If you go with Drupal. Drupal might be overkill - you might want to take 
a look at Wordpress as well. There are some fairly pro looking Wordpress 
skins out there now eg: http://www.revolutiontwo.com/ - and Dreamhost 
have an auto-setup for Wordpress as well if memory serves.
