WordPress is really starting to piss me off. No lie. I swear to the gods of all that is right and holy, all these fucking “upgrades” and “updates” are making my blogging experience worse with every little notice I get on my dashboard. For some reason, regular people are getting caught in my spam-catcher, and not only that, the fucking moderation notification isn’t working properly. So, I used my other blog to see if I could work out some kinks, go the extra mile, upgrade to 2.2 (I wasn’t going to do that for a couple of months to make sure the shit ran right). Don’t you know that shit killed my blog? I tried and tried to get that fucker back to working and just about knocked myself silly from banging my head against the desk.
**Normally, I like this sort of thing. All the fiddling and messing is usually very relaxing to me and if I break it, well, I can always go back and fix it. **
I thought at first it was this new fancy theme I had picked out (over there, not here- they’re different). So, I’m changing all the code around, fixing the CSS (so I thought) and almost rewrote the whole fucking theme. But, shit fire, I just kept getting the same error over and over and over and… I go to the Support forum and put in a call for help. Then I look at my profile there. In the past year I have put in a total of 5 support requests. And exactly ZERO were answered. I ended up, after much head banging, finding the answers myself (usually through Google and off-site, I’m thinking). I’m pretty sure that no one has even looked at my post. Sweet. But, they don’t get paid, I should just be glad that I can find the answers I need – eventually. This time, though, I didn’t. Because it wasn’t my permalinks, or my htaccess or mod_rewrite or my theme that was breaking my site it was fucking WordPress. That annoys the shit out of me. So, I went back and reinstalled 2.1.3 (actually I just renamed my file name from .com.old to .com… Ha! Take that fuckers!). Anyway, I’m going back to my original plan of not upgrading until all the patches and fixes have been put in and they tell me that WP 2.3 is ready- that’s when WP 2.2 will go on here. OK? Where was I?
Anyway, so some folks are getting caught in moderation and I don’t have a fucking clue why. I apologize. One day you may post with no problems and the next BAM! you get sucked into the abyss. I’ll get you out as soon as I’m aware of it (obviously, WP isn’t going to fucking tell me when it happens anymore…WHAT HAPPENED?). I’m thinking of changing blogging platforms, but that might not happen for a while. I tend to put shit like off for quite a while. Anyway, a lot of the old WP blog/plugin developers are jumping ship I heard, so I may just join them sometime. Unless I get done being mad about that stupid upgrade that wasn’t meant to be. Son of a bitch!
In other news, I’m going out of town tomorrow. It’s off to the “resort”* until Monday. Yay! We also found out that the Captain’s thing burned down, so we won’t have any cable service there. They’re damned lucky that the regular season is over or I would lose my mind on those fuckers. Here’s hoping they got that damned pool cleaned properly. I swear to god I am not getting in that thing. No way, no how. But for my kids’ sake I hope they have enough chlorine in there this time. I’m hoping it rains- all weekend. Mwahahahaha!
That, my dears, is all.
* Hahaha! It’s a damned over-hyped, over-priced, muddy campground.
It’s Friday!
