So here’s the situation…

Filed under: Site Updates — Rapunzell @ 6:43 pm

The blog has been down for months now. I’ve managed to change hosts and lose backups at the same time (of course). The most recent backup for the blog DB that I’ve managed to locate is from 2004 and doesn’t seem to match any of the site backups I have laying around. I also can’t seem to identify the wordpress version (and combination of extensions) that it was using to run, so i can’t freshly install an old version to make it work. And for some reason phpMyAdmin is being a whore and won’t import the CSV files of data I rearranged from the backup to match the fresh upgraded install of Wordpress.

I think it’s time to say fuck it. I’m missing like three years of data anyway, what’s the difference if I kill another hundred posts.

Oh, and since it’s a fresh install of a version of wordpress that’s never been run on this site before, there are a few bugs with the design on some of the skins…I’m having to create a theme that runs my skins the same way as the rest of the site does. It’s interesting, but I’ve done it before…just takes a little wrangling.

And there’s a major overhaul coming soonish on most of the rest of the site anyway.
