Rockville Central May Break This Weekend

Gentle Readers–There’s a spot of maintenance we need to perform on our publishing engine over the weekend (for those who care, we are upgrading to WordPress 2.8.1). I wanted to let you know becuase there might be some, um, downsides.Our web site is highly customized (by me, which is to say by a person with no more hacking skill than a chimpanzee wearing oven mitts) and so the upgrade may break things. It is possible that you may visit this fine web site over the weekend and find it looking very odd. Worst case is this lasts into the week (please, God, let that not happen, please.)When it’s all done, it should be back to normal. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I am planning to do this on Saturday.Thanks,–Brad RourkeP.S. Cross you fingers for me.

Good Luck! I’ve got mine crossed!
What’s this I hear that Rockville Central may BRAKE this weekend. The website is going gangbusters! I say they should press the pedal to the metal and go, go, go! No braking!What? “Break,” not “brake?” Oh. NEVER MIND!

Make backups (DB and filesystem) and put the site into offline mode (I think wordpress supports this) before the backups, so you don’t lose any comments/user content! Good luck! Hope all goes well.
Thanks everyone the update appears to have worked properly and I can’t find anything that’s broken.Please let me know if there are any strange changes.
Everything DOES seem to be working just fine, which is great news!
Well, I crossed my fingers! The website looks fine to me. Your doing a great job! Thanks!
