Well, the work on Mahou Meido continues, as I transfer the archives from Houblog. After some fumbling around, I found a fairly easy way to do it, as this time, the database structures are similar enough that I only have to add “,0,0,0” to the end of the string, and let PHPMyAdmin handle exporting and importing.� I have some hopes of being able to transfer the comments as well, although coordinating the change to the post numbers will be no fun.� And then I still have to work out the subdirectories for the pictures, then go through and alter each and every one of the links after I upload them.
One of the things that I worked on for some time last night was installing plug-ins to WordPress on this site.� The picture uploader was a key one — I figured version 2.0 would have better upload capabilities than 1.5.2, and I was right — but they fell short of the capabilities of 1.5.2 augmented by the plug-in I was using.� Apparently others agreed, because after an hour’s searching, I finally remembered that the link to the author’s site was in the plugin directory of Houblog (DUH!) and found the updated version for WP 2.0.� Only it didn’t work.� I found out (after following another dead end for a while) that it was necessary to install the original 1.5.2 version, then install the add-on for 2.0.� I’d only installed the add-on, so I was getting a misleading error message that had nothing to do with the real problem, causing me to waste time trying to “fix” my authorization levels.� Damn Shamus and his multi-level problems!
