I decided to try the WordPress 2.6 Upgrade. I started the nailbiting consideration a couple of months ago. Last week I finally actually did something about it. If you follow me on twitter, you may have seen threats, promises and innuendo about me upgrading for the past couple of months.
Before: http://whall.org/blog, WordPress 2.3.3. The blog has been upgraded through many iterations, including pre-2.0. I’ve been blogging for more than three years now.
During: http://whall.org/test26, Installed WordPress 2.3.3, imported posts from previous blog, put in all the same plugins and as much as the same config as I could. Upgraded the test install to 2.6. Got bored. Procrastinated. Went crazy once.
After: http://whall.org/blog, WordPress 2.6.1. Imagine the hotness!
The complete log of my attempt is in the extended entry. It’s long and boring, like some contracts you might sign, or 90% of an RNC acceptance speech. So I hired a comedian speech writer to put in a bunch of one-line zingers here and there. I’m fully expecting the left-wing blogosphere to launch an all-out attack on my family any day now.
