Well got the upgrade to WordPress installed, which is always a good thing, though I’m not sure if it will post to my Facebook page or not.  Hopefuly I didn’t accidently delete something important, guess we’ll see shortly after I hit the publish key.  Also with the update I picked up a new theme for the blog, I had the other one for a bit, time for something new.

I still have some house keeping to do, but most of that will happen when I get the other blog going.  I know I have a hard enough time keeping up with one blog, how the heck am I going to keep up with 2.  Well part of it has been my instance of getting the other site working, so I don’t post anything cause I need to get the other site working.  This of course leads to frustration cause I couldn’t seem to get it working (though I’ve made some great progress as of late), which then lead to me not working on it at all, and not posting at all for….. Months.   Hopefuly that won’t contiue to be the case, and I can get posts moved, and categories trimmed and shaped up.  Then I’ll be back to posting happly on which ever topic moves me.

Enough typing for now, have work to do.  Now to see if this carry’s over to face book (crossing fingers).

…. or two weeks untill New Years.  Pick your favoret holiday and go with it.

 I love the guide on the WordPress site (the makers of this blog software) regarding upgrading to the latest version.  It reads: 

The latest stable release of WordPress (Version x.x) is available in two formats from the links to your right. If you have no idea what to do with this download, we recommend …

I really wish there was a nice little software update that I could run, cause I do know what to do with the download, just after work and the party, I wasn’t really in the mood to deal with it.  The problem is, I know me.  If I don’t take care of these things like this right away, they tend to hang around for a while, like months on end.

I guess I could follow the directions and get a free WordPress blog.  Of follow the link that came after recommend to their partners that do facebook hosting and take care of every thing (except mods probably).  I guess (warning matrix reference)  I took the red pill.  I know what having some fasion of control over the software means.  The customization that is possible, which is normaly restricted when you use a free service, or a paid we-take-care-of-everything set up.  Granted yes, I haven’t really delved into it to much but that’s not the point.  The point is, the possibility is still there.  To not have the possiblitly, would just fester in me untill I just went out and got my own set up any how. 

So in the end,  I got over it and upgraded the blog software.  It’s not like it was all that diffacult, more time consuming.  The theme or layout is the same, so it don’t look any different to the viewer (especially if you are viewing from facebook).  It’s definitely different on the admin / author side of it. It’s all nice and good, but I don’t want to bore those who don’t care about it.  If your interested go to wordpress.org I’m pretty sure they have some screen shots somewhere.

You know, (well ok you probably don’t know unless you can read minds… which if you could I’m sure there are some Government agencies that would LOVE to write to you) I had no intention of doing some drawn out tech post, but I guess that’s where my mind was at.  I was going to talk about my facebook experience (as I really got started with it 18 days ago), or Winter driving. Actually now that I think about it a little more It was going to be a rant about the latest from the Nanny State of New York, and why I’m a step closer to moving out.  But I’m going to save that for another day (who knows maybe tommrow) as it’s time I got to sleep.

Ok, it’s12:34 am, magic number, best go off to bed, I will have to say, setup was a breeze for the most part of word press.  I did run into a few snags, but I think that was due to me trying out a few other systems, and compairing WordPress and WordPressMU (I was looking at mu for a different project, but was testing it here. Now on to the importent things… plugins and Themes

Hmmm, what’s the difference between Categories and Tags??? Eh, save that for tommrow.
