## Description

Some hosts suck. They don’t include basic things like cron that plenty of scripts
need. Luckily for us, we can mimic `wget http://example.com` with this plugin. It’s
about as simple as plugins get, but should make your life a bit easier.

## Installation

 1. Upload `wordpress-hit-an-external-cron.php` to the `plugins` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Add the URL of the page you want to hit daily to the Settings > External Cron Settings
    screen
 4. Drink a glass of scotch and be happy that your bad host is no longer an issue

## FAQ

  What kind of scotch should I drink in step 4

There is no perfect answer to this. As an everyday scotch, I think you can do much
worse then the Highland Park 12.
