I am a hamster and I live on a wheel
Cats: Uncategorized|So, I go through the whole white-knuckle ride of updating my Wordpress platform.
Hounded by the failure of Website Updates Past, I studied the “codex,” backed the whole thing up four or five times, and scoured through YouTube demos. This prep went on for days. History would repeat itself over my dead body.
My hands were shaking as I began the deleting: admin files, gone, php files, gone, includes files, gone, js files, htaccess. All gone.
Then I loaded loaded the new version and after a couple fatal error reporters (The horror. The horror) and some quick reloading, I was successful.
I had my brand new Wordpress 2.5 platform. I rocked!
Until today, when when I logged onto this message: Wordpress 2.5.1 is available. Please update.
Oh hamster wheel of the blogware world, where is thy off-ramp?

I got cold sweats just reading that. I can’t even handle the fact that Blogger has pimped their word verification so that it takes me 4-5 tries to guess correctly at the mutated letters they offer.

Barbara, yes blogger hasn’t got the word verification right. I’m glad I;m not the only one.But they have fixed the first comment so it doesn;t run into the blog post headline.
