In reply to: 1.0.2 / Saving an entry actually deletes…As an update, it seems that “save as draft” doesn’t work either … in the “post” section…

In reply to: Updating from 1.0.2Thanks everyone for their replys…I think I may have the guts to try the upgrade…Seems easy enough. I’m just wondering is it worth it? Meaning is it stable enough with enough new usable perks to make it worth the trouble, especially if I’m eventually going to go thru all of this again once it get’s out of beta stage?
Also, you’ll notice that I discovered how to alter my CSS! (DL’d a template from Alex Kings site…). Yay! Sure, it’s still someone elses template, but those sure are groovy colors! I figure I’ll eventually work out how to customize even further, but for now…
thanks again, all!

In reply to: Updating from 1.0.2First and foremost, a healthy thanks for WordPress! The interface/etc. seems much more elegant than MT… I’m hoping that it will be easier to customize as well! : )
I just installed 1.0.2 a couple of days ago, and managed to import the few entries that I had from a Moveable Type weblog I’d recently set up. In trying to find ways to customize things, I’m realizing that it seems 1.2 is the way to go (with it’s plug-in’s and all..). I’m using a Mac running Panther, and using a combination of Safari/IE/Mozilla/Firefox as my browsers. In trying to figure out how to update to 1.2 I ran into a few questions…
My questions are these:
1.) Is 1.2 stable enough to use with my Mac as my primary interface? 1.0.2 seems pretty stable and I’d stick with it, but it seems that all of the cool hacks and plug-ins that I’m seeing are written for 1.2 My goal is to really personalize the site as much as possible with Pictures/RSS Newsfeeds/What I’m listening to now/ type of stuff….
2.) How do I go about updating? I’ve backed-up my MYSQL database using the threads here (remind me to read to the end of the post before dl’ing a hack…I installed 3 or 4 of the wrong ones before I realized I wasn’t at the most recent!). What I can’t seem to figure out is where to put the new 1.2 folder so that I can run the upgrade script. I dont’ want to mess up the 1.0.2 site that I do have running in trying to update. My knowledge of all this stuff is not totally basic (I know how to set permissions using FTP, read and follow a readme.txt, cut and paste code into php files, things like that….) but I’m no code-jockey.
I know there are probably really simple answers to these questions, but doing a search for “upgrade 1.2” didn’t yield anything on these forums.
Thanks in advance, and I hope to be posting more questions/comments as I get this sucker up and running!
Once again, thanks for WordPress! : )
