Flaky Blog Upgrade

Bumholes. I upgraded WordPress to the latest stable version a few weeks ago and it’s being a bit weird ever since. I moved from a Fedora Core 4 server to a Debian Sarge server as the FC machine kept dying for hardware reasons and besides, I much prefer Debian. After moving machines, I then upgraded WordPress and all of my plugins.

This move necessitated exporting my blog database in MySQL 4.0 format out of a MySQL 4.1 server, so I could import it into the 4.0 server on Debian. I managed to do this after a few hours of fiddling, but new blog posts seems to produce database errors, which I fixed by making the ID field of each table auto-increment. I imported my blogroll from Bloglines, but don’t seem to be able to delete the ones I don’t want, or any duplicates.

So, to summarise, if you have any problems with my blog let me know.
