Blog Software Upgrade
I am faced with the dreaded blog software upgrade!
One of the pitfalls of hosting one’s own blog is the occasional need to wander into the the world of code and databases. I have put this off as long as I possibly could, but, now it has to be done.
I don’t think there is any way of doing this without the blog going down for as much as a couple of days or as little as a couple of hours. It is also very likely that the skin (look) of the blog will also be changing due to the radical jump in versions I am required to do.
So fear not! Artscapes will be back and posting regularly with in a week.
Update: We are now using the latest software! Yay! And, I think we were only down for about 15 minutes. The process is now complete and no theme change seems to be required. Please let me know if anything is not working as expected!

So far, so good!

It seems the theme is OK and no further changes are necessary. Upgrade is complete! Back to regularly scheduled programming…

Just dropping in to say ‘hi’ on my library ‘wi-fi’ day. May not be in town next week, but I’ll probably find some dial-up time for your blog whenever you get the next post up. Looking forward to it.

Great…I’ve put off upgrading my Wordpress blog for years…as soon as I read “unzip the files….” I come out in a rash and feel ill.
I usually end up at around 3am feeling quite feverish and wishing I hadn’t started in the first place.
