After testing it out on a test blog with most of my plugins, [and after backing up the database, and all the files on the server] I  decided that it was good enough to use here.<\/p>\n<p><img ALT=\"When I say ugly, this is what I mean....\" ALIGN=\"left\" SRC=\"http:\/\/www.coffeechick.com\/images\/jpeg\/ted-haggard-face.jpg\" \/>In order to upgrade, I had to delete a whole bunch of stuff after deactivating a whole bunch of plugins&#8230;so, there was the potential for some severe different-stages-of-ugly between deactivation and deletion.  There was also the period of time between various stages of reupload, upgrade and reactivation of the plugins.<\/p>\n<p>But it all seems to be working fine, now, and it looks quite nice in the backend, and there are some lovely new features.   Did I already mention that?<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s this sort-of text editor thing where I write these posts.  Also on that page, there&#8217;s the category select thing, and a sort-of preview pane.  Prior to the update, I was stuck sort of&#8230;imagining what it would look like with the css being used.  Now, it actually shows me what the post will look like if loaded as a single post.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I can add categories from this page.   I&#8217;m not sure if I can put them under other categories, but still&#8230;very nice.<\/p>\n<p>The visible updates&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I added a &#8216;previous&#8217; and &#8216;next&#8217; [with post titles] to the single page views.  The one that would go on the main page is still crappy, so I&#8217;m not going to even bother with that.<\/p>\n<p>I also added something that makes it so nobody but me can use my email address when posting comments&#8230;so that&#8217;s nice.<\/p>\n<p>This whole lazy using-a-blog thing beats the shit out of modifying old guestbook scripts and messageboard scripts to mock up the blog posting-ease&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I say &#8216;almost&#8217; because if anyone was trying to view my site while I was doing some of it, it certainly was visible&#8230;.
