So I decided it was time to revisit my wordpress blog. The last post was more than a couple of years ago. I made some changes to the last two posts, correcting typos, etc. lo and behold, the time stamp updated to the current date, resulting the posts to be categorized as if it was just written today. I did not want that. I was able to manually change the time stamp on one post because I put a date on it. The other one, there was no indication when the original entry was posted, hence I wnet online to find out if there was a way to know the  original time stamp. While doing the research, I found out my wordpress version was way out of date — several releases behind. I took a crash course on updating to the latest version. I followed the instructions, went through a few hoops, such as upgrading PHP and mySQL database version, and finally got my site up to date. Only one ‘minor’ thing — I don’t see my original posts. So, I went back to the instructions and apparently I missed the part where it said I was not supposed to upgrade from a really old version straight to the very latest. I think, becasue of that, my mySQL database import/export did not go through successfully and I’m stuck with a clean slate, no blog entries, no users, and no more categories. I did not really have much on trh old site but there was some posts, especially ones regarding family, that I’d like to keep. I am hoping I can dig through the orinal mySQL database and retrieve those posts. I am also hoping that I will learn the ins and outs of mySQL in the process.
