I updated to the latest version of WordPress today. Normally this would be easy, because WordPress isn’t hard to upgrade, but I have a cold. So the simplest things turn out to be the hardest things. It took me over 1 hour to figure out the database was upgraded and the error messages were normal and not to be concerned about. Grrr. It would have taken me only 5 minutes if my brain wasn’t in ultra slow mode.
I should have spent today in bed, watching the ‘Labyrinth’, ‘Dark Crystal’ and ‘The Luscious Grassy Place Movie’ – I mean, ‘Return To Oz’ – which I scored for $10 each over the weekend.
Anyways, there are still a few things that need tinkering with, such as:
Re-install the mobile hackRe-install the since last visit hack- Install comment blacklist hack
Re-do the smiley codes- Install the grin hack
Re-code the content (which I’ve been meaning to do for ages)Fix the CSS shadow effect around imagesFind out if there a stats hack for this versionCheck if it all validates
Fun times.

You and your damned colds. I hate the feeling of being sick and actually trying to use your brain, as well. A one minute task could turn out to be a 3 hour task because you feel as if you can’t hear yourself think. I hope you get all your stuff upgraded and everything goes smoothly. All you need is for your site to go down again and deprive us all of your witty blogs 🙂
P.S. Well done on scoring the $10 movies…sweet.

How is it you can be sick so often when you live in such a hot place? I rarely get sick (though when I do watch out) and I live in eastern Canada, where its damp, in the spring and fall, and cold and damp all winter!

Luke, the stats hack was a hack by a WordPress user. And I’m not sure if they’ve updated it for 1.0.1. It might work though. And what do you mean by normal blogging software? There is no normal blogware, they all have pro’s and con’s and the user should pick the best one for them. The best one for me is WordPress.
Niels, the links aren’t messed up. I’m just not using the old link system. so I need to re-code some of the content like I said in my post.
Steve, I haven’t been sick since last November when I had that UTI. And you can get summer colds. It’s not the coldness which brings on the flu, it’s when you get inside and start to get warm when the flu starts to take action.

You lucky girl, how/where’d you score the movies? I’m desperate for the Labyrinth and Dark Crystal but I only know of one place that has Dark Crystal (for $40) and no Labyrinth.
Steve, colds are easy to catch here in summer, I live in the state next to Kitta’s (South Aus) and I normally get one at the start of summer and at the end (near my bday). Summer colds suck, so get well soon Kitta!
