# So before you start, the script assumes the following:
# 1. you have some sort of SSH access
# 2. you are owner of your blog (in terms of computa permissions)
# 3. the blog folder is called 'blog' (if not, change all instances of the word 'blog' with whatever it's called)
# 4. the server has curl installed
# 5. the server has un/zip installed (if not, change the zip to use gnutar)
# 6. and that the only changes you've ever made to your wordpress blog are /wp-config.php and in /wp-content folder
# Also, if it goes tits up, I don't accept any responsibility, so use are your own risk!
