WordPress: Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance

The first time I saw “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance” on my WordPress site I was terrified. I had attempted to update a plugin and it failed. And no matter how many times I refreshed the browser, the site wouldn’t come back up.

Now I know what the solution is: delete the .maintenance file on the server.
