 * Hello,
 * I am using this for the first time. I have my Azure account setup but have 2 
   questions.
 * 1. What do I enter as my Storage Account Name and where do I get this information
   from?
    2.If I already have media uploaded and being used on my WordPress site,
   will all the current media be automatically transferred to Azure after installing
   this plugin?
 * Best Regards,

 * Ans 1 :
 * If you already have an azure account, login to the azure portal ([https://manage.windowsazure.com](https://manage.windowsazure.com))
   and create a new storage account.
    Detailed tutorial can be found [here](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-create-storage-account/).
   Enter the new storage account name and key (both you will get from the Azure 
   portal) in the plugin settings page. Please see the [user guide](http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/windows-azure-storage/trunk/UserGuide.docx)
   for more details.
 * Ans 2:
 * No, there is no automatic sync functionality available in this plugin. After 
   activating the plugin, you have to edit the existing post and upload the media
   file again.
