So, I bit the bullet (metaphorically, of course, lest someone think I’m biting bullets in the presence of my small children and thus encouraging them to do likewise. ahem… ) this evening and installed WordPress 2.1. Again. This time, I was smart about it. I backed up my database, downloaded the entire site to my hard-drive, made sure all my plugins were compatible and disabled the ones I knew weren’t… And, I’m rather pleased to announce that it all went rather smoothly this time around. I’m a little sad because some of the plugins I had to disable and remove are the ones that I really love and enjoy and use almost daily. Like the flickr plugin that let me browse my flickr pictures right from the post page. Dang, but that was nice. Or the advanced WYSIWYG editor that let me do cute things like superscript and the like. But I didn’t use that one near as much. The flickr plugin, at least, is getting an update soon that will let me use it again. I hope. So all is not lost. I’ll just had to add images manually from flickr. Like the one below.
Liam is soo over it already.
There’s a few things that will take some getting used to. Like the weirdness with the links. But there’s other things that are darned nice, like the automatic saving of drafts, the ajax switching between rich text editor and code and the import/export tools. Among many other things. So that’s why I ultimately did it. And I know you’re all just SO fascinated. Now that I’ve bored you all to sleep, I’ll go off someplace and plan my upgrade to Windows Vista. Because I’m a nerd and I roll like that.

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
