I nuked my Wordpress database and blog, and I’m rebuilding for the next few days. Basically, I’m going to keep on blogging and building my new template, while tediously reconstructing the previous 350ish posts that I had in this iteration of my blog (luckily my old Blogger LLR archives remain unaffected).

Is this thing still on?
I just did the dreaded update from my old-ass version of Wordpress (so old I’m embarassed to even mention what version) to the latest, fancy-ass version of Wordpress. Everything went smoothly, or at least it seems that way. If you’re seeing this then I didn’t have any colossal database errors - apart from all my categories vanishing (don’t care) and some link category issues (minor inconvenience).
UPDATE: It seems that everything is messed up, actually. Some of you may have noticed when the comments section didn’t work. Luckily, I did a full backup, but I might have to scrap the site and restore some of the stuff manually. Yikes.

Been having Wordpress problems.
I’ve come to realize that no content management system is perfect for all the exact things I want to do with my blog, and while screwing around with the internal Wordpress stuff, I accidentally locked myself out of my blog admin panel. I’m back, and hoping to get the bugs under control. While I’m at it, I’ll be changing up my page (probably to a single column look). Anyway, I guess I’m writing this blog post to say that I’m updating my blog. Lame.
Also, I’ve been thinking of using Tumblr, but I hate to deal with the past five years of archive posts.
UPDATE: I’ve kinda locked down a template and sticking with it. I gain more room on the blog posts and can free up alot of the clutter that made me hate looking at the site everyday. I’ve got more features to come (mainly feeds from my other projects), so stay tuned.

PHP is now my new nemesis.
I’m working on getting away from the last template, and getting back to my black background. Also, this template will allow me to take my plugins and blogging potential a step further. The header image is chosen randomly, and one or two of the images don’t look so hot now that I see how they flow with the page - others, like the images of my glasses might seem freakishly large, staring back at you if your native monitor resolution is 1024 or lower. I kinda like that.
Why the sudden redesign? Apart from the fact that i do this every 4-6 months, I had a blogging intervention from my pal Stone. He informed me that my template was too conservative and boring. He also mentioned that I need to blog more (which is probably true).
