That was until 2.8.2.

As I tried to do a subversion upgrade, I kept getting strange locking messages and the upgrade refused to work. Then I noticed a section in the subversion instructions entitled “Relocating from the old svn.automattic.com repository.” I followed the instructions and this enabled me to do the update.

If in doubt, read the instructions!

I updated the database and tried to view my blog. Instead I got an error message: “Permanent Link to WordPress 2.8 Error – Call to undefined method WordPress_Module::_weak_escape()” Fortunately there are some clever people out there. I had to disable the redirection plugin (that I had failed to keep updated) and things seemed fine…

I then received another error: “Parse Error: parse error, unexpected T_SL.” Apparently my template had got corrupted during the subversion process. Thanks to some other clever people I found an answer Basically I changed to another template temporarily and then copied a backup copy of the original template back to the server, which appears to work fine.

At Yoost’s suggestion, I have installed RSS-footer, available at Yoost’s site. The plugin automatically adds a link back to one’s site within the RSS feed. The idea being that if anyone scrapes your content, at least you get a link out of it.

I just remembered that I was a big fan of Van De Valk, the Dutch detective series, when I was a boy in England. Maybe that’s why  like Joost’s content so much!
