Progress

I have just updated WordPress, which was a long and arduous process especially since Tech Guru Cousin Terry was unavailable to hold my hand through it. Usually I bribe Terry with good food to get her to bus to Boston and take care of my website issues. I even let her make fun of how little food (relatively speaking) it takes to make me full these days.

Yes, I used to be a web developer, and I used to be able to consume my entire body weight at every meal, and yes, our family used to put buffets out of business, but maybe I’M JUST OLD NOW.

The technical information superhighway long ago dumped me in the cul-de-sac of repetitive stress injuries and now I’m a creaky old lady rocking myself in a chair, muttering, “You modern kids are so soft, with your automatic blogging and iTunes and MySpace…why, in my day, I had to code twenty lines of HTML just to get a picture of a school to show up online!”

Anyway, spurred on by three email messages demanding that I upgrade WordPress (one sent on Friday, when the latest version was released, the next on Saturday, the third on Sunday) and fearful that my inbox would keep getting an email a day until I upgraded, I upgraded. And upgraded successfully.

Now I have to figure out why I suddenly have a new category called “Blogroll.” I’m sure you youngsters out there already know it. In another five years, I’ll probably figure it out, too.
