Back Again – but it might not be for long.
Well, after another long period of no follow ups I am back. I had an exam to study for but that is out of the way so I can focus on my Internet Marketing once again.
I have been trying to upgrade some blogs to the latest version of WordPress but it’s not going too well. This is one thing that I have to learn. The platform I am on right now is WordPress 2.7. There is an option to do an automatic upgrade but it is not working. The only option now is to upgrade via FTP, and it’s a fiddly operation.I managed it with this blog, but all host packages are different and need a little tweaking here and there.
Instead of avoiding it I have decided I must learn how to do it. Hell, this blog was stuck in the dark ages with WordPress 2.3 for ages because I just didn’t know or want to know how to perform an upgrade. There was no option for an automatic upgrade, so it had to be done through the FTP. In the end it was not too bad and I was proud of myself for achieving it.
My attempts to upgrade my other blog have all failed so far. It has even got to the point where I cannot even upload the previous blog because the files are corrupt. Luckily I have saved all the posts to my hard drive so not all is lost. I think the only option now is to start right from the beginning. Wipe all the files and upload the entire WP-2.8 to the server.
Why upgrade to WordPress 2.8?
The simple reason is there is much more choice about how to write your posts and an added boost to SEO. Compared to previous platforms, WP-2.8 is much better in terms of usability.
So, i am off to try again. Who knows how long this might take. I’ll be back when the mission is accomplished.
