  5.  * I will need a way to retrieve and edit blog posts, so more logic is
  6.  * needed.
  7.  * This is based on Ben Mills excellent tutorial found here:
  8.  * net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-create-an-object-oriented-blog-using-php/
  9.  * This should go into the folder libraries and be called blogposts.php

  11.  * sense to you.
