SerSo.com has been upgraded again. At the speed and frequency new releases of WordPress are made available, this is a bit crazy, but one thing I am happy with: their “upgrade” feature. The 5 minute install, the export and the upgrade features do make a lot for WordPress.

In a certain way, it compensates for many other shortcomings of the engine itself. I still am not completely accomodated to the idea that one doesn’t have any simple way to get the page slug, for instance, and there are many more like that.

I’ll stop complaining because I realize that this is community development driven, and I, for one, haven’t contributed anything to it. I will, I will!

There’s no more waiting, the guys from Dreamhost where this blog/site is hosted sent a huge “humpf!” my way because, apparently, I am a security hazard for them with my old, old WP installation

Folks that know me say I am conservative, perhaps a tad too much in what concerns technology hehehehe. The truth is something else, though. I am a procrastinator, that’s what!

Anyways, this time around I am going to do it. I’ll have to go through the bore of adapting a new template as well, because I am taking the opportunity to “clean up” the site looks a little bit. When I am finished, I will share the experience here with a step-by-step how-to dedicated to you folks that would like to do the same and don’t have all the programming knowledge that is often necessary. Cool?

Meanwhile, please bear with the occasional downtime that the site may suffer as I go through this upgrade.

Thanks and Cheers to y’all!
