WordPress released version 2.3 last week, not more than a few days after I launched the site. I didn’t want to upgrade, but I thought it better to do that with no more than a few posts on the site, than wait till later when it would do more damage if I screwed it up.

It was a sensible decision, as it turns out, because I screwed it up. I took a back-up before I started. That turned out to be a good idea. I think it was something to do with the directory structure, but WordPress 2.3 didn’t work for me. So I killed everything, installed 2.2 again and then upgraded it. I then tried to restore the MySQL database. That didn’t work either, but it was easy enough to paste the few postings I had done into WordPress.

Then I got my “back catalog” and started adding in older content that I’d written over time. There’s quite a lot, and it’s a boring activity. It will keep me busy for a while.

To keep myself amused I tried out CSSEdit, software that’s designed to allow you to manipulate Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). I was more than impressed - this is powerful software. Eat your heart out, Dreamweaver - as far as CSS is concerned.
