omgwtf!

YAY!

I finally went ahead and backed up this whole blog (I’m usually much better at keeping backups; I’ve just been really extra-economy-sized blah blah lately about doing anything at all), database and all, finally upgrading WordPress (long overdue, but done at last), and finding and installing a new theme!

I’ve checked the couple of things that were egregiously broken, the most extreme of which was the total inability to actually see any of the posts anywhere except the main page – like when you click RSS feed links, for example, and come up with a blank entry (just the title and no post or anything). Just FYI, the same thing would happen when I’d be editing a post; the WP admin write window has at the bottom a WYSIWIG post preview that also returned a blank entry, just like what you would get when you click the RSS feed links. Apparently there was something in the previous theme I was using that was either missing or not coded correctly (maybe I screwed it up in my tinkering) that caused that to happen.

ANYway, this new theme appears to have remedied that unbelievably annoying bug and so all is well there, the posts can be seen on their own individual pages when you click ‘em, and my frazzled soul has been soothed – at least in that quarter.

Now that the thing is installed and appears to be working, I’m going to tart it up and mod it for my own tastes. I like the orange thing that the author has going here, but since it’s not one of my favourite colours, it’s going to get old pretty quickly. But that’s okay; I’ll have fun tweaking the thing to my preferences. I want to add some little widgets here that I’ve been looking into. I’ve found a whole SLEW of interesting little things that I want to shoehorn in here eventually.

Exciting!

Well, I’m off to do some scheming before work. If anyone notices anything broken or annoying (other than the content, in which case, piss off), please let me know!

YAY for new, unbroken themes!
