It looked so simple, just follow the instructions (well I thought I did) and whatever new bell or whistle included would appear.

INCLUDE being the operative word here. There I was, all happily upgraded (ignorance can be bliss) being inordinately proud of myself for having done this without assistance.

Everything is great until I hit SAVE – poof, up comes

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: maybe_serialize() in /home/evilscie/public_html/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 937

No maybe about it, serializing not happening.

Normally this would have been a tiny problem, TH is out of town and up to his ears in meetings. Don’t want to bother him but, after several days of not quite finding the info I need – I confessed, gave my usual, I am sorry, I really should have told you further.

And of course, since I had posted a message AFTER the upgrade, managed to completely forget it was part of the scenario.

Well, at least THIS TIME, I did back up everything, so while I couldn’t get a post to publish, at least I did not lose everything … like the last time.

Fortunately TH is quite good at seeing through the magic smoke of software, and found the following link.

Sometimes you have to do things just because you trust your friends. There isn’t enough time in the universe to do it all yourself

So Tink said I needed to make sure to claim my blog with Technorati, and Technorati said I have to post a message with the following link.

Okay just a reminder, yesterday I ‘splained that PSA is Possible Spew Alert –

Anyone who follows my posts “in the groups” is likely to know I am *not*
a fan of pretty much anything Microsoft.

It is not just annoying, but a huge waste of time that EVERYTIME I am forced to come into contact with OutLaw Depress or Internet Exploder – I must immediately run both Spybot & Symantec.

You would think that a company who is supposed to lead the industry would not require the use of a morning after pill every time you came into contact with them

Which brings me to FireFox

It is just too convenient to have several tabs open – I am so looking forward to being able to flip back to What Wheat Wrote and make Blog-ments about topics of interest while Blog-A-Venturing or visiting with the Yahooligan Groups.
