Yes, folks, that’s right, a new version<\/a> of WordPress was just released earlier today! I being a good webscript follower, decided to upgrade to the newest release to ensure that I don’t get hacked or whatnot (though, I’m sure after that, every goddamn hacker just set their sights on hacking my site). You can get it from the usual places<\/a> if you do your own blogging.<\/p>\n

I did not, however, upgrade to WP 2.8 (the version just released). “Galador, have you gone crazy?” you may be asking, “You just said<\/em> that you updated your install!” How very observant of you, dear reader! I did in fact update my WordPress, but not to some skanky stable<\/em> version, heavens no! Instead, I decided to be adventurous and follow the SVN trunk<\/a> (for you non-techies, the development version, straight from WordPress to me).<\/p>\n

And of course, being the dev version, it FUCKED SHIT UP<\/b>. If you see the layout between now and probably sometime tomorrow when I fix shit, this is not how I want my blog to look<\/b>, goddammit. If I wanted to change how my blog looks, I’d change the fucking theme! Why do I suddenly have a list of categories and archives on the right side? I don’t want that. Where is my blogroll? And what happened to my meta links. (It’s a good thing I have a separate login button in my theme’s header, else I might [*gasp*] have to type out the admin URL manually! *shudders*)<\/p>\n

To be fair, of course, the WordPress doodz do give you a bit of warning that that SVN trunk is probably going to be bork. Ah, the grief of running on the bleeding edge!<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/b>: It appears I owe a bit of an apology to the WP devs for this post. Seems the only thing that went “wrong” with the update was that somewhere between WP v2.7 and v2.9-rare (I’ll interject here that the WordPress dev versions have hilarious version names), they switched to a much simpler sidebar configuration where you drag and drop (or, if this happened during or prior to 2.7, I guess I never changed the default) “widgets”. Since I didn’t have a widget configuration, it just assumed some defaults. So there you have it, folks! Give these fine people a round of applause for actually making shit easier! *claps*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
