This is where Flor lives … beautiful, isn’t it?

Who’d have thought that going back to yoga class would not only be good for my health & well-being, but also for my social life? Last week I was walking into the gym at the same time as one of the new yoga members (well, new since I left last May) , who said hello to me and asked my name. I was expecting the usual confused response that Spanish people have when they first hear my name, but instead this woman said, “is that with a W?”. Ha! It turned out that she wasn’t Spanish at all, but a lovely and vibrant planetary citizen called Flor …

Sevilla Tapas Map

Yesterday morning I went to yoga class and then came home to ride The Bike for an hour (go me!). I was also helping Nog with a temp job doing exam prep stuff for an English school and trying to figure out how to update my WordPress, so I didn’t get round to looking at the first “baby step task” on my list until after lunch.  This was to put google maps on the tapas blog so that people could see the locations with just one click.  Before I knew it, it was 8 o’clock and my one class of the day was at the door – and I was still in my sit-around-the-house clothes (eep!).

Can anyone help me with this?

I have three self-hosted WordPress blogs (azahar-sevilla and the two tapas blogs) that are running on a very old WP version and I would like to upgrade them to the present 2.7 version.  I was given some very helpful information by Pauline, who informed me that because my version is so old (2.2.2) I would have to upgrade in increments. She also sent me this link so I could download the in between versions (2.3 and 2.5). And then I came across this support forum page in which whooami explains the steps needed to recover a blog after a failed upgrade, which also explains how to upgrade in imcrements.  But I can’t seem to get it enough to dare making the changes myself. And this kind of needs to be done before I can start with this week’s “baby step tasks”.
