Well… that was the upgrade from hell.
I think it’s all OK now. I hope. After completely rebuilding my WP installation from scratch and completely revamping my theme. I think we’re good to go.
Do let me know if you find something that’s broken or weirder than usual. And thanks for your patience.
Confidential to WP developers: Your opinion that something doesn’t make sense should not be taken as an indication that it’s OK to remove functions that users have come to rely on, or to make those function suddenly out of reach of those who aren’t comfortable hacking about with their templates. Nor is it OK to just willy-nilly rename stuff simply because it would be so much cleaner. And, yes, I realize that this is a labor of love for you. How wonderful. Working for a large company where that sort of no-warning impact to downstream users would get you fired might give you a slightly different point of view. It’s not about you any more. It’s about your thousands of clients who want things to just keep working.
Good points about changing and renaming stuff “because it would be so much cleaner”. How frustrating! Just because you can doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
Okay. Bloglines hasn’t picked up your feed since the Saturday post.
Adorable chicken. I gotta have one.

It looks like Bloglines has it now. ORblogs wasn’t picking it up either. Nothing was working there for awhile. But let me know if you don’t see my feed showing up.
Hopefully most things are OK.
The blackboard chicken came from a store in Portland called The Real Mother Goose. The artist often dressed them in cute little sneakers and such, but I went for the plain one because I liked the orange feet so much.

My bloglines is showing you just fine. Sorry you went through such hell trying to upgrade. I do notice there’s no spell-check button anymore though … uh oh for me!

Yeah… I couldn’t get the spell-checker to work with this version of WordPress. There are a few things that are no more, I’m afraid. I feel your pain because I’m a terrible speller!
I can only suggest switching to the latest version of Firefox for your browser. It has a built-in spell-checker that I’ve found quite handy!
