Amphigouri: varnished nonsense

Have upgraded this site to WordPress 2.3.3 in anticipation of the next WordPress release (Any Day Now), which looks like it’ll have some slick administrative UI enhancements. All-in-all, the 2.3 upgrade went more smoothly than I expected; followed the instructions (and clapped for joy after discovering my awesome hosting service, pair, has phpMyAdmin installed so I don’t have to do my own install/maintenance. I <3 them dearly.), and yay, all my old content is here and available. The biggest issue I've seen so far is trying quickly find a new theme that will work with this version (and that will hopefully work with the 2.5 version); the main site for themes doesn’t appear to have a filter for version compatibility, and I’m finding it a royal PITA to sift thru this simple list of compatible themes. Until I find a different one that suits me, some stuff here may appear broken.

One of these days I’ll also actually get back to posting proper content.

Finally, after manymany months of our old colo box being offline, I’ve ported the old muddle/amphigouri to the hosting service that handles our other web-related stuff. Good timing, as the newest version of WP came out on Monday. Having a few headaches with the “pretty” permalinks at the moment (I don’t quite get why most of them work ‘cept the most recent 2. How odd.), and I’m not satisfied with any of the themes I’ve downloaded. With this site being so dormant for so long, I don’t expect anyone will complain if I do my testing and tweaking “live,” when I get the time and motivation to do so.

Whee!
