Things went, shall we say, moderately smooth.

It also means you can at all time revert back to a previous layout without the need for any local backups of previous layouts.<\/li>\n<li>The dashboard: hmmm&#8230; too much WP-related advertising for my taste, or at least too much emphasis on it. The &#8220;recent news&#8221; links could be a lot less obtrusive in my view. I&#8217;m sure the upgrade party went great, <a href=\"http:\/\/photomatt.net\/\">Matt<\/a>, but you see I&#8217;m more interested in my site&#8217;s own stats actually.

I didn&#8217;t like them initially, then got into the habit of using them, and just when I did, they remove them again! Sure I could whip up Firefox but that&#8217;s not my idea of a good time&#8230; :)<\/li>\n<li>I was hoping for an integrated stats package, as is the case with Dean Allen&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.textpattern.com\/\">textpattern<\/a>, but I guess that&#8217;ll be a 2.0 feature.<br \/><em>Edit<\/em>: couple of hours of surfing and I run across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asymptomatic.net\/archives\/2005\/02\/15\/1309\/bastats-pre-release\/\">this stats plugin<\/a>. Heh.<\/li>\n<li>Note to self: make .htaccess file writable (666) before adding static pages (which is another cool feature by the way). If not, the htaccess file doesn&#8217;t get automatically updated when publishing &#8212; something that had me puzzled for about half an hour.<\/li>\n<li>I still don&#8217;t get what the &#8220;custom fields&#8221; are about.<\/li>\n<li>Then again: I&#8217;m stupid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This of course is only for testing purposes as my main goal is to upgrade the WP-install for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.killuglyradio.com\/\">Kill Ugly Radio<\/a> where I don&#8217;t have the luxury of the occasional royal fuck-up.
