Are You Looking For Blog Tools

Did you hear that Word Press celebrated their 5th birthday? Thank you Word Press for all the blogs you have let me create and all the fun I have using your blogs, not to mention a few extra dollars I have made from the blogs.

I have recently been upgrading some of my older blogs to the WP 2.5.1  and I hope they do not throw out another upgrade in the near future or I will be sad.  However I have learned a whole lot with this recent upgrade.

For some reason my FTP client was running way too slow.  I just thought I had a lot of data since I posted a lot to that blog.  Wow, was I wrong.  I had so many problems with that update.  The template kept reverting back to the Kubrick template, and that did not work with all my widgets.  It was a mess.  Plus some of my posts that used php were showing errors.  This was a bloggers nightmare.

Luckily I have friends who know way more about behind the scenes technical blogging than I know right now, and they gave me some pointers.  I deleted everything but my content folder after making a backup of my database and my blog.  I just finished re-installing the blog with the Word Press 2.5.1 version and am taking a break to post this before I go finish the process.

In my next post I will tell you about a friend of mine who is a blogging genius, and who helps me a lot.  However for now if you want to go check to see what is happening with the Word Press birthday party then go to this site.

It was in San Francisco and it must have been fun.  One day when I am independently wealthy I will go attend one.  Maybe the 10th birthday party.
