Successful upgrade
I have successfully upgraded to WordPress 2.5. This may seem like a small maneuver, but I hate database linked, theme protected, overwriting-file, type upgrades. So much can go wrong as I straddle the divide between intellectual trust in the code and half blind faith in the voodoo magic that twinkles in the gaps between 0’s and 1’s. Of course I have learned a lot about playing within the box that WP provides for customizing themes. In some of my earlier attempts, I dove into outside areas and pages and tweaked little pieces of code to make it do something that was in reality far simpler to accomplish within the theme. The result at upgrade time was a vast line by line comparison to make sure all my tweaks survived the transition; a cumbersome event that guaranteed that I only upgraded when absolutely necessary.
This time however, my tweaking was kept to a minimum, my customizations where limited to the theme code and I was able to upgrade without worry and with (very little) no trepidation.
I love it when a plan comes together!
BTW, I added some new medallion sculpts I have been working on under the sculpting tab.
