A quick note to mention I just updated my blog to WordPress 4.7.1.  As always I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this before the update. This was a bug and security update. The update seems to have gone fine.

A quick note to say I just finished updating my blog to WordPress v4.7 which contained a number of behind the scenes changes. As always, I backed up my files and database first. The update seems to have gone smooth and this is a test post to make sure everything else on this side is still working.

An update of the Twenty Twelve theme that I use was also available. I used WinDiff to compare the current 2.2 version with the previous one and determined there was nothing I needed to do with my child theme. They also introduced a new Twenty Seventeen default theme which I might have a look at later. The update doesn’t install it. You have to install is separately, which I think is the correct approach. 🙂

A quick note to say I just finished updating my blog to WordPress v4.6.1 which contained a couple security and several bug fixes. As always, I backed up my files and database first. The update seems to have gone smooth and this is a test post to make sure everything else on this side is still working. 🙂

Just finished updating my blog to WordPress v4.6 which contained numerous enhancements and bug fixes. As always, I backed up my files and database first. The update seems to have gone smooth and this is a test post to make sure everything else on this side is still working. 🙂

Oh, one thing I did notice is that creating embeds of my own blog actually works now.

Been watching a lot of the Olympics. Go Team USA!!!

Just finished updating my blog to WordPress v4.5.3 which contained a few security patches and fixed 17 bugs.. As always, I backed up my files and database first. The update seems to have gone smooth and this is a test post to make sure everything else on this side is still working. 🙂
