Error 404s no more … blog’s up!

Posted by Mathew | 17 August 08

Phew! After a week of Thoughts out !oud dwelling in limbo, it looks as though things are back up and running as they ought to be!

Firstly, a thank you must go out to Rick of The Narrow Path who kindly leant some of his precious web developer time to help me figure out what damage I had caused my blog. Cheers, Rick! In the end, it seemed that just deleting everything off my host and reinstalling Wordpress v2.5.1 did the trick for me. (Which was by far the better option than paying my host $300 to restore my blog prior to cyclone Mathew!)

Although, the only draw back seems to be that my chosen theme no longer functions properly … so I have a temporary one in place for the moment. Still, it’s functional.

After these dilemmas I was then able to upgrade - this time, successfully! - to Wordpress v2.6.1, using an awesome little plugin I found during the week: the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade. Thumbs up from me. Having reinstalled v2.5.1, I then used this plugin to upgrade to the latest version - this time, without a hitch. It was nice to see! :)

I haven’t been sitting idle while stressing about my blog’s down-time … there’ll be a few posts coming out from me over the next week, so stay tuned and again thanks for your patience.
