Well, Wordpress 3.0 has been available for download as a beta product until today. It went alpha. So I downloaded it having heard good things about its stability and usability. I'm especially interested in exploring the merging of MU into the base installation.
My upgrade was not without issues though: immediately after the upgrade the Wordpress version of my site was dead and the Admin login area was as well. What to do?! After a quick hustle or at wordpress.org's forums, I went in and disabled my plugins folder by using my FTP client to rename it and create an empty plugins folder.
Poof!
Everything worked again. I added plugins one by one until I found the offending one: Lifestream. When I have a bit more time, I'll check for an upgraded version of the plugin.
[P.S. It occurs to me that many of my readers at this rendition of my site may be completely unaware of the fact that I have been running a parallel site, testing it for compatibility and such. This has been going on now for some time. If you want to check out the Wordpress version of timtyson.us, just click here.
