Upgrading WordPress
I am going to upgrade the WordPress software used in this blog. Expect some down time. I am upgrading from 2.0.1 to 2.1.3 Since I have a lot of WordPress sites, it will be more easier to manage if I use the same version everywhere. I will let you know after the upgrade is over. […]
