WordPress Upgrades and Web Hosting Migration

Hi everyone,

I’m back!

Well I didn’t real go anywhere but my sites certainly did.

Finally the migration to a new web host went fairly smoothly except for this
very blog.

The much loved ‘Connections-Reloaded theme has gone due to the HUGE break when
my installer, Adam from down-under in Australia upgraded to WordPress 2.2!

So me not being much of a techie I switched to a previous ‘Connections’ theme.

There are a few things I need to change to the sidebar, footer and header.

However I am planning on revamping the whole blog design altogether.

Sadly a lot of plugins are no longer supported including my trusted ‘WordPress Database Backup’ by Scott Merrill. Looks like a lot of programmers have given up with the ups and downs of recent WordPress updates. You can now download the WordPress Database Backup plugin at the end of the WordPress codex web page.

Did you know every time an upgrade is made these un-paid programmers have to develop a patch?
Well some are doing alright because after the acquisition of FeedBurner by Google the ‘FeedBurner Feed Replacement Plugin’ has now been taken over by FeedBurner and has a new name ‘FeedSmith‘.

So I’ll be on the hunt for some new replacement plugins!

Strange things have been going on.. like the incredible level of Spam seemingly from Kosovo , or so the comments implied!

Spam makes sow mutch cents. LOL :-)

It’s good to be back but I must check out all of my scripts and contact my subscribers.

Hope to have another great Practical Marketing Tip by tomorrow.

Thanks for your extreme patience during this time of uncertainty.

All the best,

Nancy Redford
