UPDATE / Week of January 18 to 24

Make that we did it.
Yes, this week’s one and only BABY STEP was to update WordPress. So on Thursday evening I got together with my friend Kcrystina — who lives in Prince Edward Island — in the hopes that this time the updates on both my English and French blogs would be a breeze.
Not so.
To begin with, the Skype connection was awful. Kcrystina could hear me talk, but all I heard was silence mixed with static.
When Kcrystina decided to call me on the phone, there was echo at her end and this made it too annoying for her to pursue a conversation. So we went back to the Skype call, with me talking and she texting. Charming.
Once the updates were done, both blogs presented certain malfunctions — fudge! Kcrystina knew right away that it was a plugin’s fault, but which one? So I deactivated all 39 (20 on the English side, 19 on the French) and proceeded to reactivate each one in order to discover the culprit. It turns out I had to delete 3 plugins on each blog… and then the job was done. All in all, it took us almost 4 hours. Sheesh!
And now…
The coast is clear for my Road Trip Show — I need to move my butt!
See you tomorrow for a brand new week of baby steps.
P.S.: Does anyone else have problems updating WordPress? Kcrystina thinks it could be my server’s fault — I’m with BlueHost. Also, I’d love to know what your favourite plugins are. Thanks!
