404 After Upgrade

Posted on the July 26th, 2008 under Blog by Papa Bear

Every time I logged in to my dashboard, there would be a link to upgrade my WordPress from 2.5.1 to 2.6. Eventually, last Monday I could not resist it anymore and bravely (may be stupidly would be more appropriate…) click to upgrade via the Fantastico. Well, I said bravely because that would be the first time for me doing such a thing and stupidly because I did not do my research first.

Anyway, the upgrade took only a few seconds and once I refreshed my blog, everything seemed to be in order. That remained true until I clicked on one of the posts link and ka-boom! I got the shock of my life. Not just any kind of shock but it was one of those monkey kind of shock. Terkejut beruk, if I were to say it in my mother tongue.

Self Hosted WordPress

Posted on the July 25th, 2008 under Blog by Papa Bear

This is my first time running a blog on a self hosted WordPress platform and it has taken me a lot of time trying to figure out how to customize a standard theme into something that is more personalized to my own taste.

This is also my first time using a UNIX hosting but to my surprise cPanel is actually quite simple to use. Getting around the cPanel did not really take me long and in less than one hour I managed to install WordPress via the Fantastico De Luxe. Some of you, who are more technically inclined might be tempted to say: “What? Less than an hour? That’s way too long!”

By the way, I love the Fantastico smiling face logo.
