Crossing My Fingers, And Upgrading My Blog Software
I’m still running a very old version of the WordPress blog software here at The Story So Far so an upgrade is long overdue. I’m going to work on that this weekend, as weekends seem to be when my traffic here is at its lowest ebb. Presumably that’s because most of you have work to do around the house on the weekend like I do, and not because blog prime time happens to be during normal work hours when the boss isn’t looking.
I’ll start the process sometime this weekend. Saturday or Sunday morning depending on how my other household chores go. Hopefully the upgrade will be reasonably painless. There’s a WordPress upgrade plugin I’m going to try first. If that doesn’t work then I’ll have to to it manually. Obviously I’m backing everything up first, so unless the backups fail nothing here should be lost. But the blog may be unavailable for a time. Please Stand By…

Yes, it’s time for a makeover.

Well hopefully the blog won’t Look any different once I’ve upgraded the PHP software that runs it. If my readers notice anything it might be that the comments editor is a tad better. I’m at WordPress 2.0 and they’re up to 2.6 now.
I might fiddle with the template a bit once I’ve gotten past the software upgrade though…
