In which there may or may not be a brief outage.
I’m backing up and upgrading to the latest version of WordPress, the application I use to run this site. It’s a security update. Safety first! (It’s also been out for a couple of months, which makes me an asshole. Especially considering that I may or may not have already been hacked once before through an unupdated version of WP.)
There should be no outage at all, but depending on how well I follow directions you might get a few garbled pages here and there during the process.
So far today I’ve done the dishes, cleaned my room, taken a shower, flossed and brushed, dressed, started laundry, and made chai and White Trash Breakfast From Hell. Go, me!
In other news, tomorrow is Bread’s birthday.
Update: Okay, well, that didn’t work – sorry about that 10-minute downage there. I had to go back to my backup. Gah. See what trying to be good’ll getcha? I’ve got a ticket open and hopefully someone will point me to proper upgrade instrux.

Upgrading is always a pain. You have to backup everything, and then make sure that all the plugins, add-ons, themes, and personalizations you’ve made are reintegrated.
It’s a total pain in the arse, for certain. -m
