I am trying to upgrade the wordpress thing, otherwise known as breaking my web site because I don’t know what I’m doing and whoever thought doing my own domain and all the weird stuff that goes with it was a good idea for a techno-idiot like me is not too clever, either…
I learned something new today:
If you upgrade something and you export your stuff to your desktop first, but the export file says something about “PART,” then that means only “PART” of it exported, and the rest is gone. But if you have a clever, computer-y person to help you, then you can piece the missing PARTS together from said person’s Google reader and from cached pages in sort of a haphazard, taped-together way that’s better than nothing and will lead to you staying up all night and very annoyed yet thankful you’ve barely written on your blog lately because the PARTS you missed are not terribly extensive and you feel in such a rush to get the missing parts found that you don’t have time to write in real sentences, just run-on ones . . .

Ah-ha. No longer blue. But still missing stuff. Am trying to do this myself without asking for help for techno-husband.
I feel your pain. I have often felt in over my head with my own domain and everything. I once changed a little something in a configuration file and spent the entire day staring at my “blog” which was a stream of unreadable characters.
Very similar thing going on here, Vikki. For hours all I’ve been doing is trying to find the missing posts and comments and putting them back. I really don’t know who I think I am that I should be looking at things called “css” and “php” files. Although…when things work, it’s been fun to learn all this new stuff. Makes me feel like mad-computer-scientist-genius…
