I had a major complication that resulted from the upgrade of my blogs within the HART-Network.com domain (the root and 8 sub-folder blogs). I am using this domain strictly as an aggregation of all the feeds for each and every channel of the HART-Empire Network code that you see in all of the sidebars.

Basically, what I do .. is that all the contributing blogs’ RSS Feeds are syndicated within each channel blog, and entirely in the root blog, and the plugin posts the feed as content in my blog. I have set the posts to link directly to the source and originating blog’s URL. As a result, all the posts of one particular blog might represent only the “Small Business and Finance” channel network of blogs .. and one feed is burned at Feedburner. This is the RSS feed at the bottom of each section of code in the sidebar. Neat, eh?

I have upgraded all the blogs of the HART-Empire Network II series .. which aggregate and summarize the feeds of all individual channels into an individual feed. I started yesterday at 4:10 pm and finished at 11:10 am this morning .. although, not all the time was spent overnight in the actual conversion.

I have successfully updated Battling-Schizophrenia.com blog from wordpress version 2.0 to wordpress 2.1. The update took 1 hour and 13 minutes, including backups … which was longer than the #4th upgrade because this time i REMEMBERED to deactivate the plugins first! Also, there was a more considerable amount of plugins used in the Battling-Series.

Everything went according to plan .. and, as far as the versions of the remaining blogs in the HART-Empire Network .. I’ve have updated at least one blog from 5 out of the 6 different versions of wordpress that I am running “out there” .. being versions

I have successfully upgraded CatLvr.com .. in 41 minutes.

I was a little concerned, because of those 41 minutes .. 27 of those minutes was spent just downloading and uploading files! I was in the cPanel to make a clean and separate backup of MySQL database when .. after my FTP download was complete, copying all of the files from the server to my local hard drive .. I immediately deleted the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ folders and all the root files. Nuked them! Badda Bing! Gone! Poof!

However - I forgot to DE-activate any of my plugins!

Every once in a while I see a design that looks interesting, is unique, or unusual .. I look at the credit and follow the links. This template isn’t that hot .. but you know what? It sure has potential .. maybe for an affiliated product showcase or shopping blog .. with a little tweaking

* I have upgraded from wordpress version 2.0.4 to wordpress version 2.1

I have updated AndYouRetire.com blog.

The longest part of the conversion is backing up the web files first and uploading the new files.

This time, I “nuked” the /wp-admin and /wp-includes folders through my cPanel filing system itself, than my WS_FTP_LE program that I like to use. With my own FTP program, I have to delete all the files first before I can delete a folder and when doing it from the cPanel it’s all in one step (plus I can recover if I make a mistake). My open source FileZilla FTP program can also do it … but I don’t like that program because I don’t trust the destination of the drag and dropping ways.

Good News and Bad News …

I was browsing my “REFER” stats this morning in the PetLvr blog .. and noticed a referral from Google Video. When I tried to click on it, for the life of me .. I didn’t see my site and I was up to page 10! But I did notice that there were sites listed in the search of Google Video that had YouTube links.

I remembered the entry on the SootleDir Blog a few days ago …

I have upgraded 1800HART.com/picks/ last night. Surprisingly .. this upgrade did NOT go as smoothly as it did with my PapillonLvr.com/blog/ upgraded from version 1.5.2 direct to version 2.1.

So what happened? I do not know. But, I can tell you how I finally fixed it.

Back to my rant about hiring bloggers again

* Yes .. still thinking about it.

But I wanted to see how other people are actually doing it .. how other persons and businesses are writing their ad copy looking to hire a blogger .. and how other blog networks are trying to recruit writers. And .. you know what? Problogger Job Board was the best help for me. All the others were .. how can I say this .. Great! If you are looking to hire a Rocket Scientist!

It just seems that all the job boards out there are super high technical .. or web design .. or special programming. Even if there are jobs out there for bloggers … they really do seem quite vague, don’t you think?
