10 ways to make a million in just 5 minu… Oh, cool. WordPress 2.3 is out.

Now that WordPress 2.3 is out, I quickly downloaded it and upgraded a WP-installation on my local server (if you don’t have one, check out XAMPP). As with every major upgrade, I expected some problems, but was surprised - everything went smoothly.

I made some adjustments to the theme and when they also didn’t cause any problems, I couldn’t wait to see BloggerJourney in 2.3.

Files uploaded? Check.
Database upgrade? Chec… hey, wait a minute. These error messages don’t look friendly.

Somehow the db-server didn’t like the new WordPress. Damn these nostalgic fools.

Forced upgrade didn’t do anything to change my luck, so I exported a couple of tables from the local install and imported them to the unwilling db-servant. Worked.

After copying the changed theme files BloggersJourney seems to do okay. If you notice something different, please let me know.

Lessons learned: Backups are nice, local installations can be very helpful and theme editing can be easy. And I wonder why I have avoided tags for so long.

Good luck with your upgrade.

Oh, and no, I don’t know how to make a million in 5 minutes. I’m just in a really good mood *g*.

I was dreading doing the Wordpress update as I had never done one before but there’s a plugin that automates the whole thing - pretty painless:

I know, and if it works - great. Unfortunately the automatic upgrade plugin doesn’t like my setup. I gotta admit that I like to get my hands dirty, so a bit of tinkering doesn’t hurt.

Has anyone else tried the techie-buzz plugin? I think I might try it on one of my sites this week… I was just curious about additional feedback since I have never heard of it.

I thought I was going to have an extra million by the time I got done with the post.

The upgrade to 2.5 was very painfree as well. I’m glad they have a good QA dept. Makes life easier for all of us blogger.

If decide to perform the written essays, you would have to get know that this requires a lot of work! Different men spoil their literature essay, because they are not experienced! That’s bitter, but the order essays service would help such people any time they need.
