First Upgrade of the Year

May 9, 2019 | adventure, blog, motorcycle, photo blog

Starting to make adds/changes to my 2017 Indian Roadmaster! Starting small with the Premium Tour Console. Found an absolute steal on the Indian Motorcycle website two weeks ago and couldn’t resist.

Here’s what it used to look like:

Here’s with the new console:

Here’s a couple more pics. One of the full view of the cockpit, and an up-close view of the new gauges.

WordPress 2.5 Upgrade

Apr 5, 2008 | blog

Well I just upgrade my WordPress install to version 2.5. Everything seems to be working as intended, so I’m not too worried about it. After several upgrades, I’ve figured out the best method for me.

Back up the database, and the WP-specific folders
Inventory my plugins and verify that they are compatible with the new version
Disable all those plugins prior to the upgrade
Make sure that the theme is compatible with the new version
Upgrade WordPress
Enable the plugins one at a time, checking their main function to verify that there aren’t any issues
Finally, test the site in all major browsers, which for me means FireFox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera

It’s gone quite well and I think I’ll test one more thing by publishing this post. That tests the compatibility with Windows Live Writer, my main (and favorite) blogging editor.

Have you upgraded WordPress yet? If so, any issues? Good luck if you’re just getting around to it! 🙂
