- In the beginning the WordPress gods upgraded the WordPress software from 1.5.2 to 2.0.
- And the 1.5.2 Dashboard was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the preview screen. And the Spirit of WordPress 2.0 moved upon the face of computer monitors everywhere.
- And Bonnie said, “Yikes! It’s about time I finally upgraded, too,” and she did.
- And Bonnie saw the upgraded Dashboard, that it was good: and Bonnie saw her SmartArchives, that they were broken.
- And Bonnie called the new preview screen WYSIWYG, and the bug that dated all her previewed posts Dec. 31, 1969 she called Bad. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
- And MacManX said, “Let there be uploaded changesets in the midst of the new WordPress 2.0, and open each of those changesets in a new tab from oldest to newest, and look through each tab and leave only the most recent changeset per file open.”
- Or something to that effect.
- And Bonnie followed his directions, even though she was initially very confused—but then she is always confused—and upgraded again.
- And nothing fell off her computer, and that was good.
- When the dust cleared, Bonnie called the preview screen “Heaven” and the Smart Archives “Still Broken.” She fixed the Archives using a combination of Smart Archives 1.01 and Smart Archives 1.12.
- And she gave thanks to MacManX for introducing her to Changesets, and the evening and the morning were the second day.

And then, MacManX said, “I am sorry that the changesets did not fix your archive problem,” for he did not know that Bonnie was using a plugin for her archives, but he knew that the changesets would protect her from the bugs that lived deep within the darkness.
“Take with you these tablets of WordPress 2.0 plugin compatibility,” he said, “And live happily amongst the world of bloggers.”
I wanted to do wordpress but it says I need to down load something or other and when I looked it up – it was $$$$ – I don’t know why people think I know what I am doing – just becasue I have designed three different websites … they are the kinds that you cut and paste into – not that hard –
I don’t even know all the dern functions to blogger – in two years I think my kids will have surpased me (and I only sat that – because I am too afraid to ask what they can do now 😉 )
Dennie, where did you see that “it was $$$”? WordPress is a free and open-source blogging platform.

Wah! James!
Dennie, MacManX is right… WordPress is 100% free. If somebody was trying to charge you the WordPress people need to know about it so they can take legal action.
Look into WordPress.com; it’s like Blogger in that you can get a site set up for free, without having to pay for hosting. You won’t have the spam problems you have with Blogger.
Thy 3371 and thy 3396 they comfort me. Thou preparest a blog before me in the presence of mine readers. Thou anointest my front page with content; my syndicated feed runneth over.
I know word press is free – but it said my computer needed something else MySql or somesuch and when I looked it up it was expensive – I tried to get the hubby to help figure it out … but well you can see I still don’t have it
Okay, Dennie, I’m awfully slow sometimes. Now I understand.
You need PHP and MySQL to run WordPress, that’s true, but only on your webhost. If you run your site from a home computer, then you install it on your home computer, sure.
But the costs you ran into were probably to set up a site at a webhosting company, because PHP and MySQL are also free. Some webhosts may charge extra for PHP and MySQL, too.
My webhost offers hosting plans that start at $7 a month with PHP and MySQL and email accounts. (No more Earthlink email!)
Blogger hosts your blog for free on their site. That’s what WordPress.com does, too, but with better spam protection. They had a Blogger import function, but hear they pulled it for further tweaking. If it comes back, Blogger users could easily move over their entire sites, comments and all.
And now, just let me say:
Wow, Dennie, your book cover looks GREAT!
aw…. thanks
– I will probably look into changing it soon. But I fear change! The website and blogger are pretty dummy proof … so I will have to work up the nerve to do more with it. but soon…
James! Somebody went to Sunday school!
I went to Sunday school for one day and gave up on it when we began to cut fold-out crosses out of legal-sized paper. I figured that if I was just going to do exactly what I did in Elementary school (assemble arts & crafts), then it was a waste of my time. After all, I learned far more about Christ by just attending the weekly Sunday services.
Wow, Bonnie, you’re just a Mrs. Wizard! I’ll stick with Blogger where I can’t get in too much trouble. I hadn’t had any spam until today. It was Osama Bin Laden porn…..there aughta’ be a law! that’s just gross!
