Changes… going through changes
Akismet has crapped out on me lately; consequently today alone I’ve waded through 700+ spam comments in moderation. In retaliation, I’m doing a summer cleaning of the site. I’ve upgraded WP from v2.0.1 to v2.2.1, mostly so I don’t fall so far behind that plugin compatibility is a major issue; along the way I’ve switched to the contentious Garland theme. Maybe someday I’ll get around to customizing a theme to fit my unique needs, but until then I’ll use the best of the prepackaged stuff.
In the course of upgrading, I pretty much reinstalled from scratch, only saving the original Mysql database, so there may be a few missing links to files that I had in the WP directories, and such. I’m going to resolve these as they occur, so if you find something you were looking for is no longer there, just let me know.
Apparently the Now Reading plugin has been broken by the upgrade. Also, I just started using Spam Karma, since Akismet is resisting my attempts at diagnosis.
