Updating My Wordpress

So, if you know me well, you have probably heard how strangely stressful the last few days has been for me. After my incident - finding out that my car is NOt a boat (believe me, I was shocked too) and the amazing chain of events that occured from that point on (you can read it a bit here www.TJMapes.com).

It is sort of surprising that I am daring enough to update my wordpress. I figure since the check engine light went off tonight there is a good chance things will be looking up. So… after spending over a half hour reading and re-reading the instructions telling you to back everything up, I decided: eh.. I wont mess up - I think I have it all. Once I started deleting all the files I started getting worried when I saw the “your database needs to be updated” I started freaking out. Fortunately after I pushed the “go” button wordpress did it all for me.

Everything worked out perfect! And all the content that the wordpress instructions held that stressed how important it is to do it the right way were perfect! AND.. The new interface seem just as great as everyone who wasn’t nervous about updating claims it to be.

Nice Job Wordpress!!

Let me finish with these pointers:

• Don’t drive through big puddles
• Read and re-read signs
• Got to the bathroom before attempting to rescue your car from the pound
• Midas in Chicago (4200ish W. Irving Park) is worth the drive for good trustworthy auto service
