 * Hi,
 * Can we just use the package, without the installer.
    I have already created the
   installer and the package of my website. I have created a new wordpress site 
   with database, and installed the plugin; but cannot see any where to upload or
   scan the folder where I have uploaded the package zip file. Now checking the 
   video, it seems I justed needed to upload the package and installer without creating
   any wordpress site.
 * So Now as the wordpress is alreay installed with the DB, can I just use the package?
   
   Or Delete the wordpress site and create a new DB?

 * Currently the plugin requires the use of the installer, if you just browse out
   to the installer.php it shouldn’t take more than a minute or so to install.
 * Cheers~
