 * I upgraded my website to the latest one.
    I sort of deleted everything as I’ve
   backed it up… and they sort of ‘restart’ everything for me…
 * the blog appears ‘new’..
    with the default theme & the ‘welcome to wrdp’ post
   kinda thing…
 * I wanted to use back my old Database… so i did what we normally would do when
   we install a new Blog… I change e DBname in the config.php file.. to my old DB
   file (which still exist) and my website just simply turn b.l.a.n.k… my admin 
   page flew out of e window as well. *sweat*
 * this happened a few times already..
    1. when i upgrade it. 2. when I delete everything&
   try to upgrade again. 3. when I reinstall e files again.
 * it just keep going poof! poof! poof!
    so.. u could see how desperate i am now..
   that I even finally resorted to e forum for help… really dun wanna bother u guys…
   but.. guess i suck at this big time…
