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”.

baby-stepsStarting off again one small step at a time …

My very dear friend Lizzie in Bristol – who has been running the very popular Folk House Café for many years and is now in the process of revamping family run Quartier Vert – recently sent me a list of ideas to research in order to turn a couple of my personal projects into money-making ventures. She thinks that both the Sevilla Tapas blog and azahar natural clothing have potential and so I now have a list of instructions to help me get started … except it turned out I have become so bad at thinking in even a remotely straight line that I also needed to enlist the help of another clear thinker and straight shooter, none other than my “hermana de alma” and international woman of mystery, Pipocas. We got together on Saturday afternoon for a lunch and brainstorming session here at casa az and here is how it went …

christmas conference calls

As it is now officially the Christmas Season I find myself in a festive mood. Especially as a couple of months ago I thought I would only have one more Christmas. And okay, there are obviously no guarantees, but I am a lot more hopeful than I was. Which is wonderful because I really do love Christmas. This weekend the tree and other decorations are going up at casa az.

So I had an idea. I was thinking that some of my blog friends (that’s you!) might like to get together some time on Christmas day for a short conference call on Skype with myself, Nog and other blog friends.  I did this once with zoomer, Anneke and others – there were five of us in total – and it was quite fun.

Anyhow, just throwing the idea out there.  If there is anyone in particular you’d like to chat with let me know and we can organise times based on where everyone is. And if you don’t have Skype yet you can download it by clicking on the link below and choosing your country.
