Heads Up

This weekend I will be updating blog code, again,
to the latest stable release of K2, the theme I whacked and hacked for the site.

Because it’s been months since I whacked and hacked theme code, this will take about 39 hours to complete and will involve much funkiness — madness to commence Saturday morning. Primarily, the updates will affect navigation and improved commenting code.

Come Hell, high water, and empty liquor bottles, I’ll have it completed by Monday morning.

UPDATE: Did I say Monday? I meant I was gonna get up off that bar stool just as soon as I could figure it out.

Applying Minty Fresh Code

**BLOG TERROR ALERT LEVEL: SEVERE LOW(ER)**
Severe risk of blog terror as code is upgraded to WordPress v2.04.
All Readers should continue to be vigilant, take notice of their surroundings,
and report suspicious blog activity to the local … whatever.

Notes to me: What in the hell is with the tag pages? No idea, but I intend to get to the bottom of it. (*shrug* updated permalinks and UTW config, works now — must be magic.)
Don’t forget bla bla backup, plugins, bla bla upgrade instructions, turn plugins back on, marvel that spammers got through during that 5-minute window, test navigation. (Done. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy)
Redo any updated plugins, test, bla bla, queue up for Warcraft’s Alterac Valley after patting self on back for a job well done. (Fuuuuuck, Bad Behavior and Extended Live Archives need to be upgraded, of which, ELA is ALWAYS a huge pain in the ass to redo. BBStats needed an upgrade too. DONE! Foton deserves a distilled reward.)

As usual, if you notice some funkiness that I missed, shoot me an email if you would please — Foton (at) afkgamer (dot) com.

Upgrading – Upgraded

Falling Rocks and Code Mayhem
Upgraded The Blog to WordPress 2.0.3.
Fitter, happier, more productive.

Notes to me (although if you’re REALLY bored, you can follow along):
Update plugins — WordPress Database Backup, Akismet (wtf, I was already using latest versions, not sure why they highlighted those plugins as requiring updates)
Fix for WP2.0.3 comment edit problems (link) (must-have plugin. changes to comment edit code=very stupid)
5-step upgrade instructions for 2.0.1 to 2.0.3 (link)

Tested. Completed. Moving on with life.
