 * We recently changed servers for our wordpress blog. How can I go about changing/
   copying databases? When I look at wp_config.php I see the old database name, 
   host, and user. It still works, but I want to get everything moved over so I 
   know where all our information is.
 * I’d like to keep all the old information too.
 * Thanks for any help you can provide.
 * Joe

 * And just in case you are wanting to change the table prefix ($table_prefix in
   wp-config.php)
