Holy Crap, Batman
OK, so I just got my blog back online. Talk about feeling like an idiot.
I did one of the things that smart admins never do: I upgraded without backups. I thought hey, what could happen. My hosting provider gives me this little button to upgrade wordpress. And I’ve been so impressed with Wordpress that the upgrade should go smoothly.
And it didn’t. Oh boy did it didn’t. It didn’t so badly that it makes me think real hard about chaning blog servers. As you can see, I got everything back, but it wasn’t easy or (quite frankly) intelligable what I did. All I can say is that I thank god I didn’t try to upgrade my wife’s blog, too.

i think that portability of content between blogs is the next big thing. we (royal we — select * from we where person != me) need, nay, require easy upgrades from the lesser navel gazing softwares to the higher-level ones.
