So after class I spent the majority of the afternoon at home, in which I decided I would tackle the, much needed, website.

Concerns have risen mainly on how slow the site takes to load. I figured it was time to update from 2.1 to 2.2.

I have had to update before, and I knew I was in for a day because its such a hassle to do. Well that was before I logged into powweb, in which I discovered that they offer the ability  to install, and upgrade, wordpress as an application. I was like… O_O! So I decided I would backup my site, which involved me basically coping the entire ftp directory to a folder on my desktop, heh, and then proceed to delete my site entirely and reinstall using powweb.

Little did I know the extent of my nievity. There was actually an export and import button where I could have saved my settings – oh well. “It is what it is,” As Nancy would say.

So with a brand new site I decided to take a look at new themes, one I found very customizable and simple, the one you are now looking at, as it sports two sidebars and a central column. I then decided to redo my mp3 player so it was smaller and more compact. I also got in to a bit of a problem as I couldn’t figure out how to upload a custom header image, something I am still working on getting. bah.

A List of all new features will be added, of course, to their own post – which will follow when I am officially done.

For now I need sleep as I have a test in the morning, if anything is left to be said, it is that I saw my powweb plan and realized I was due for a free upgrade! I now have 300GB of storage space as well as 5000GBs of bandwidth a month.

It can be said Mehdi is quite pleased, yes, quite.

*smirk*

All in all, I hope my site runs faster and smoother than it previously did, but only time will tell.
