My blog is put together with a program call Word Press. And, Word Press regularly has updates to their software.
Now, in the past, these updates had worked automatically. You just press the update button and it upgrades. No fuss, no muss.
However, a couple of years ago, they came out with an upgrade that was not automatic. This upgrade required you to manually delete certain files and replace them with new ones. Since I was not feeling adventurous and the old version worked just fine, I was reluctant to upgrade. But, as luck would have it, I was forced to upgrade this weekend because my web host was moving from PHP 4 to PHP 5, what ever that means.
When I check my web host to see if they had an automatic upgrade for my old version, I discovered that they did not. Rats!  This meant that I would have to upgrade by adding and deleting files.

If all worked according to plan, it should only take about 10 minutes to complete. But, since these things are never that simple and easy, I planned on using the entire weekend for the upgrade.
Having gone over the upgrade instructions several times during the past few weeks, I felt fairly comfortable with what I was about to do. But, since the instructions were written by someone who was thoroughly familiar with the process, I was concerned that things might not be quite so obvious to me.
So, I was elated to discover that sometime last week, my web host created an automatic upgrade for my old old version of Word Press. And, it worked! 5 minutes and the whole thing was complete. Yes!
I now have a whole weekend to my self. I guess it is back to working on the house.
