Some of the readers of my blog who are into this sort of thing know that I use the blogging software known as WordPress to publish SteveWebel.com . Well, I upgraded to version 2.6 today using Wordpress Automatic Upgrade which automatically upgrades your wordpress installation to the latest one provided by wordpress.org by just clicking on a link. Easy, right?
Everything seemed to go smoothly, but then I couldn’t log back in to my admin page (where I write new posts and manage all the settings of the blog.) I have to admit, with all the issues Erica is having with her blog as a result of Apple’s problems migrating from .Mac to “MobileMe”, I became very nervous that we were both gonna be hurtin in the blogging arena.
However, after a few minutes of trouble shooting and trying a few things, I thought about resetting my browser (I’m using Apple’s Safari browser.) I had read that one of the ‘upgrades’ in v2.6 was a new way of handling “cookies”, by resetting Safari, I would wipe out the old cookies and get a fresh start, so to speak.
Well, it worked! Whew! Crisis averted.
Okay, if you made it this far in this post, congratulations, you are probably the only one!

Hey - I hung in there till the bitter end
Whenever you’re talkin about WP you’ve got my attention.
I’ll be going to 2.6 as soon as I get a chance. I’m looking forward to captions on the pictures
Still haven’t gotten around to configuring the 1 click upgrade tingie though. Maybe this time!
I just might convert…
Jackie, I definitely recommend the WP Auto Upgrade plugin - it has worked great for me for three or four upgrades now.
I don’t know how it works ‘under the hood’, but it seems solid and it certainly makes upgrading much faster!
Erica, before you ‘convert’ realize by gaining the stability of WordPress, you’d be losing the configurability (good looks) of iWeb. Plus, as far as I know, there is no auto way to migrate to WP from iWeb - so you’d have to do it manually and you’d lose your comments!
Anybody reading this know of a good way to go from iWeb into WordPress without losing comments left on previous posts?
Glad that you are still in blogland! Annette
