ZOMG GUESS WHAT

O is for Obstinate

I upgraded my wordpress installation!

Last time, I messed it all up and it took me almost a whole day to figure out what I had forgotten to do.  This time, I messed it up in the EXACT SAME WAY, but it took me only about forty minutes to remember what I had forgotten last time.  I call that a win.

See, the index.php file at the root of your directory - it changes somewhat if you change other things around, like maybe you update your blog software, for example.  It’s supposed to be overwritten by the newest package, but because I always install wordpress to a separate directory and then tell it to publish to the root, I forgot to do this.

Triple d’oh.

At any rate - welcome back, if you tried to get here earlier and were stymied by the php error.  Sorry about that, yo.

TOTAL SUBJECT CHANGE!

Last year, I was doing the whole 365 thing over at Flickr.  You’re supposed to take photos of yourself (or whatever you decide to dedicate the project to) every day for a year.  I failed both times I tried it, because life kept getting in the way.  However, I really miss doing that.  Not because I’m so horribly egotistical (at least I don’t THINK that’s what it is, but I suppose I could be completely fooling myself), but because it was an intrinsically creative thing for me to do every day.

There was a really fun meme I participated in during my second try; it was the alphabet project, and every day I had to take a photo of me and theme it to fit that day’s letter.  (As you can see, I put my favorite one here, heehee.)

Do you guys think I could do it again?  Would you even want me to?  What if I did, like, a haphazard version of it - much like my sorry-ass version of Blog365?  I would, of course, be publishing photos here as well as at my Flickr account.

What do you think?  Leave your opinions in a comment!  Because I care that you care.

    I love your pics on Flickr so all for the photo-meme idea :)

    As for the WP upgrade… I haven’t yet tried it. I was all set to on Sat night and then J’s friend came over and I was too distracted by chatting to an ACTUAL PERSON to do it. I will soon though… honest.

    Hi,
    Congrats on upgrading.
    I vote yes on photo blog, but Miss Smarty Pants, you have to use the Greek Alphabet for your letters.
    Or Cryllic, in which case, nobody would ever know.

    Happy Blogovaries.

    I think I came up to 260 days or so ;)
    I was thinking of doing it again, but I’m oh so bad lately :)

    And yes, I always manage to screw something up when upgrading my blog ;)

    And happy Blogoversary :D!

    I think you should. I’d love to but never have time. Maybe this summer.

    I would thoroughly enjoy it. I love your pictures :)

    Hey IronSudoku buddy,
    Blogging for 365 is tiresome to be sure, for I did it with a devotional book I was reading through. If its worth doing, do it well and keep plodding on. Let me know if you try to restart and I will RSS it to Bloglines feed, front page.

    and yeah, you are real easy on the eyes.

    LOVE Limer
