Everything Under The Tropical Sun

After one seamless wordpress upgrade (version 2.7)… the curse was bound to strike again. And without a hitch, wordpress upgrade to version 2.8 was it. I was praying hard that I had already possessed a magical talisman to deter the WP upgrade curse from ever hitting me again.

So what happened? After upgrading to version 2.8, it seemed that everything was working. My dashboard looked pretty much the same. It didn’t look like anything was out of place. I worked on a blog entry I drafted earlier and as soon as I hit the publish button, it’s when it hit me: my visual editor was out of whack. The buttons weren’t there.

“OMGoodness, does this mean I have to get used to writing my blog entry with html?”

It’s the curse of the WP upgrade. It attacked me once again! *sigh* But I guess it wasn’t as bad anymore because after upgrading some of the plugins, it became alright again. The buttons are back and I’m back to happily posting. So all’s well that ends well… until the curse strikes again, that is.

I’m so happy! Nothing bad happened after I upgraded to the new version of wordpress. –> THAT is how happy I am… I just had to blog about it.

Stand up and shout… bounce and hop and skip with me! The day is beautiful, the sun is out and the wordpress upgrade is a success! Hehehehe. I love it.

Maybe not all bloggers would care to admit it but blog hits and comments are one of the things that inspires us to spur on. I love the stats for the immediate feedback. The other day when I upgraded my wordpress, I had to disable my plugins (including the blog stats) and what do you know… when I re-activated it, all my information was gone.

Well, no big deal really. It’s just irritating. And maybe I really should take this blog’s look seriously. I’ve been scouting for a look that would harmoniously integrate both the photoblog and the blog itself. But my husband likes it this way. He just complains that it’s too “clean”… I agree. It is too neat. My obsessive compulsive personality just shone through.

So one of my New Year’s resolutions is to finally settle on a blog look that reflects my eclectic personality… not just my obsessive compulsive one. Hehehehehe. I’m looking at a 3-column blog… because widgets are fun!

So THANK YOU wordpress for taking away my stats. Made me spur action towards changing the look of this blog and for taking it more seriously from now on. (But I haven’t forgiven you yet. so there. :p )
