Upgrades ahoy

Sometime today, I plan to upgrade to WordPress 3.0… and also will probably be moving database servers. Expect glitchy behaviour until further notice.

Edit: Upgrade to WordPress 3.0 complete. I’ll poke around for a bit, but won’t do anything big until the database migration. That is scheduled to begin midnight PST (er… 5pm Sydney), and my host advises that it may take several hours.

Edit 2: Don’t even ask what happened to the theme over the last 30 minutes. After upgrading to 3.0, I was informed that there were updates to the Motion theme, so I unthinkingly pushed that out without realising that my widget settings would be lost. There was a detour. We are now back to a semblance of control.

Edit 3: Database migration is done, and everything checks out. Judging by the confirmation e-mail, it only took 6 minutes, which is pretty awesome. Let me know if something looks pear shaped, but in the meantime, I’m declaring this a success.

All parts intact… I think…

Due to boredom at work, I took the risk of upgrading to the latest (major) release of WordPress without taking backup measures. Ill-advised, and I should know better, but everything seems to be ok. All the plugins seem intact, but if you see something not behaving properly, let me know in the comments.
