Oops

I accidentally deleted my WordPress blog the other day.

I was upgrading WordPress to 2.5.1, which involves copying the blog to a .old directory then upgrading to actual one.

I connected to the host, deleted the .old, then thought “bugger,” as I realised I’d done it before the upgrade was complete. It seems the upgrade process does not copy to .old, but moves it, so I deleted the actual blog. Bugger indeed.

Now, I do have another backup, and the database is intact, but I just thought of all the hassle and compromise needed to run a WordPress blog.

Then I remembered I had this tumblr thing, and thought, why not give that another go.

So here I am.
