The people that make WordPress, the world’s most popular blogging platform, have released the newest version, WordPress 2.6.1. I just performed the upgrade and everything went without a hitch. Not that I know really what a hitch actually is.
Back when I had this blog hosted on GoDaddy, upgrading WordPress was always a nightmare. Problems I attributed to WordPress were in all actuality problems with GoDaddy. I can’t stress enough to people that GoDaddy should be avoided like a three-day old hotdog at 7-11. Not only did hosting my blog there cause a whole host of difficulties (i.e. feeds not working), the interface at GoDaddy was a pain in the ass. It was as though they designed the interface to subject you to as much advertising as they could. I was constantly having to go from one window to another window to do the most basic things.
I would encourage anyone needing blog hosting service to look no further then AQHost. They are cheap, easy to use, and they are quick to reply to any question of concern.

Evidently there are two things that really piss off IndyCar Series driver Danica Patrick - People that host their website someplace other then GoDaddy and people that drive slow in front of her during a practice session. I have no idea where fellow IndyCar Series driver Milka Duno has her blog hosted with, but evidently she drives slow. At least she does when she’s driving in front of Danica Patrick. Oh no! Danica Patrick then got into it with Milka Duno and there was even a towel involved.
The way Danica is going out of her way to confront other drivers that have down her wrong, she is starting to look like Jimmy Spencer.
I was having problems with my blog, Bent Corner. I originally blamed the problems on WordPress. I’ve since come to the conclusion that the problem(s) didn’t have anything to do with WordPress, but with my hosting site, GoDaddy.
Forget every bad thing I’ve ever said about WordPress.
My blog went down shortly before leaving for a week long vacation to the land of my people, California. To be honest, I took it as a sign. I made the conscious decision to not fool with it while back home. (more…)
I decided last weekend to move my blog from AQHost to GoDaddy. I was becoming extremely frustrated over the fact that the server my blog was hosted on was increasing going down and becoming not available. When I woke up Saturday morning and tried to access my blog, it was down. I had enough.
It took longer to get my account on GoDaddy up and running then I thought it would. It takes them a while before you are actually allowed to fully access your site and do things. Like upload files.
When I was finally allowed to install WordPrefect and import my blog, something went wrong. All of my categories were goofed up and all my links were gone. I went from 25 categories to over 1,800. Most were just random words seemingly picked from the æther. I actually tried to manually delete them. It wasn’t until I realized that not only did I not have any more links, I couldn’t even add links. It was then I decided I needed to just uninstall WordPress and delete the MySQL database and start over. Once I did that, I installed WordPress and then imported my blog.
