I’m doing lots of silly stuff. Who else could post a few articles in the morning, and then start with major WordPress upgrade? Surely, there was a disruption of service while many of your came to read the posts. Sorry, guys.
The good news is that I finally did it. The blog was lagging behind the recent security updates and new features, running on WordPress 2.2.2 . Today I updated it first to 2.2.3, which went without any problems. Then I went for 2.3.1, which broke a few things. I had to remove a few files and re-upload them and then fix a few places in the database and adjust the theme a bit.
All my posts were under a single category, and were tagged with Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin, which WordPress 2.3 provided an import for. That thing didn’t work properly. Probably, because I have a few thousands of posts, and a few thousands of tags, and importing them all takes more time than a browser is willing to wait without timing out.
But I don’t care for that right now. It was a mess anyway. Some posts got tags imported, others didn’t. I’m not going back to fix them all. What’s done is done and it’s time to move on. All posts will still remain under the single category (General), but that won’t be displayed. Instead, you’ll see the tags to each post. I’ll try to keep them orderly, and maybe even organize them a bit later. For now, if you want to find something, use the search box of this site, Google, or drop me a line and I’ll try to locate the bit for you.
If you notice any misbehavior of the site, please let me know. Thank you.
