Kind of off topic but for those of us who are on 5.1.0 and DON'T have a Blob of 5.1.0, should we just go to 5.1.1 and save a blob because we will need a blob to refer to if crap hits the fan?
I'd rather stay on 5.1 then go to 5.1.1 and risk it, but if I don't have a safe backup to pull from I could be screwed right?

Saving SHSH blobs is a completely separate process. You do not have to be running the iOS for which you want to save blobs, the only key is that Apple must be signing the verification window.
My recommendation to you, for now, is to download and run Tiny Umbrella today to save blobs for iOS 5.1.1, which is the only iOS that Apple is signing. And, make it a practice that for every time a new iOS is released, update your Tiny Umbrella to save the blobs for that version. Make this a habit.
Then, for now, hang in there, have patience and stay at iOS 5.1. Because...
A second general rule of thumb for jail breakers is: Don't upgrade your current iPad iOS until a jail break is actually released or until told to do so by a trusted member of the jail break community.

P.S. For those watching .... the first rule of thumb for jail breaking is: Never pay for a jailbreak; legitimate ones are free.
