Woohoo, I finally upgraded my WordPress installation! This wasn’t exactly rocket science, but it wasn’t trivial either. At least I don’t think my grandma could have done it :)
After running some SQL database commands to batch delete all spam comments (what a pain), I went through WordPress’ upgrade process. Of course, only after backing up my WordPress database and files, just in case.
So that made for a late evening, and yet more clean up work is necessary. For now, I have also removed a bunch of old links to sites that I either don’t read anymore or that don’t exist anymore. I’m going to tinker around with some new plugins and the overall design of the site as well. Time to refresh my memory on PhP and CSS…
More soon.
