A note

When moving a blogging system from one server to another, it may behoove you to check how many login attempts you have set up to allow before being blocked for a short period of time, as attempting to log in to fix a problem with the plugin that allows people to use their job's authentication credentials may result in both people working on the move to be blocked from accessing the backend of the system for a time.

(When I say "both people working on it" I mostly mean "my coworker," as he's done the bulk and I've mostly stood around and made comments. But we both managed to block ourselves thanks to my excessively paranoid security setting that allows very few login attempts before blocking you for 20 minutes. Wheeee!)
