Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Day 19. No Longer Impressed with WordPress

I don’t know why it’s broke. I’ve learned a couple of tricks; if I go directly to the login page, I can login, make a post, and Chasing the Wind works for 30 minutes. Then it goes kablooey again, redirects everywhere with references to wp-smilies and other folders.

For nearly 3 weeks I’ve been on the WordPress forums seeking help. I’m ready to give up and switch to something else.

    I think I can comment this time 🙂

    Have you tried the Blogs About forum?

    You don’t have to host with Blogs About to use their discussion board – – a new free service they
    are offering to the blogging community.

    I just hate to bother Lisa since I’m not hosting with her. I completed deleted the sql database today and recreated it, and as soon as I uploaded my data, the problems returns. I’m starting to think some sort of corrupted data is causing this.

    I know when Lisa did the switch for me to WP it would convert back to MT – – she went in and tweaked something in it and it fixed it – – plus the forum is for everyone – – it’s a message board and you are more than welcome as I said, everyone is 😉

    Sorry I can’t offer a better solution than that.

    The WordPress moderator told me how to drop back to WordPress 1.2. Chasing the Wind has been stable for an hour, a new record for the weekend. At this point, I’m thinking it’s a 1.3 beta problem.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
