Upgrading to Wordpress 2.2? A Cautionary Tale

by

Tom Johnson makes BNW two days in a row with this cautionary tale about upgrading the Wordpress files you depend on for your bloggy livelihood.

I’m so not kidding about this, kids. Go read his blog post, then hightail it over to Podz’ Tamba2 Wordpress Tutorials page, as Tom suggests as well, to get the help you need to do this right.

See, the beauty of Wordpress lies in its hands-on manageability - the blogger can make it do whatever s/he wants, pretty much, just by tinkering.

But the ugly lies in its hands-on manageability - the blogger can make it do things s/he definitely DOESN’T want, if s/he doesn’t know what the Hades s/he’s doing.
