 * I’m trying to figure out exactly how to move my WP blog from my old hosts (Godaddy
   and Bluehost) to my new host (Webhosting Buzz). In the process I have encountered
   instructions that tell me to make sure my “table names” or “table prefixes” remain
   the same.
 * What are table names?? What are table prefixes?? I can’t really figure this out.
   Can anyone give me a simple definition and tell me how to find out what they 
   are?
