Moving WP install from local to live, what about wp_posts GUID?

“GUID” stands for “Globally Unique Identifier” mainly used by feeds to tell if that specific post was shown on the feed before or not, even if you change domains.

When developing on local host and the moving to live (+1 just for that BTW) and no feed reader/burner has read your feeds and only if that is the case it’s OK to change it and start fresh on your new live host.
