 * It seems a lot of people are breaking their WP installs by changing the “url”
   or “home” values in Settings/General. If you’re in this situation or you are 
   moving WP to a new server/web-address, then hopefully the following video will
   help supplement what is already available in the written docs and help you understand
   your options.
