Blog software updated
I can think of better ways to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon, but I had no choice but update my WordPress software on my web site today.
My ISP was no longer going to support some older software the WordPress version I installed in November 2005 uses. So I spent 2 hours backing up my blog, deleting the original version and then upgrading to the latest version.
Tedious stuff, and something people who use a blog hosting service don’t need to ever worry about.
But having the blog on my own server hopefully drives traffic (and the all important Google page rankings) to my site.
I also took advantage of the upgrade to switch my ‘Permalinks’ from a numbered entry to a title – something Google also likes.
All this has left a few things broken, my Blogrolls did not display at first, after a couple more hours experimenting they do, but without the all-important description. I will fix this soon.
The end result should be that I’ll have the ability to install some of the more recent plugins for WordPress – such as one I need to allow me to launch a podcast feature on my blog.
Let me know if you find anything ‘broken’ in my blog so that I can fix it pronto.

Good Job Ian! My propeller head recently added the wordpress plug in called ultimate tag warrior. It allows you to add keywords for each post as well as unique meta descriptions for each post-Really good stuff for Google
Great job on your blog! Steve
