Y’know . . . I should have remembered that being careful isn’t always enough. There’s a new build of WordPress available, and I thought I should update to it.

But first, I cleverly backed up my files . . . I’ve been burned in the past by updates that stomp over things you wanted to keep.

Download and installed the update. Cool. Installed cleanly: great.

Except that it wiped out my style.css file. No biggie . . . I’ve got a fresh backup, so I can just . . . oh. Crap. The backup is incomplete and doesn’t include style.css.

Back to the drawing board. Tomorrow.

I’ll probably just do more damage if I try to reconstruct it tonight.

Still working on the fiddly details

Not quite live here yet, which is why I’m cross-posting most items between the old blog (hosted at bolditalic.com) and this one. If you’ve just stumbled upon the site, feel free to also check out the old blog at http://www.bolditalic.com/quotulatiousness/ for several years of banality.
