WordPress Angels Rescued Me

I spent all day Saturday backing up my files for my WordPress blog on TexasRVTravel.com so that I could upgrade to the latest WordPress and get rid of some malicious code that had found its way into my template files.

Then I spent all day Sunday downloading and scanning all the content, themes and "stuff"--there is a lot of "stuff" with WordPress. Then I installed the new WordPress and uploaded my clean content and TA-DA . . . no blog.

I was just about out of my mind (what I have left of it) and was really discouraged and ready to delete the darn blog and restart it on blogger. I think if I could have transferred all the posts back to blogger, I would have done it.

Alas, that was not do-able, so I went begging for help on the WordPress forum on the CMF-Ads forum. Now, Lindi from Let's Talk WordPress had already told me how to upgrade and answered a lot of questions before I started upgrading.

However, the real HERO in this story is Jenny from Fabulously Jinxed. She went on my site and found the problem within minutes--MINUTES! This was at 10 PM on Mother's Day after she had worked all day.

I am humbled by the help that came my way on Mother's Day. God bless both these bloggers with their helpful hearts and technical knowledge.

Those gals at CMF are wonderful -- you just don't know the half of it. It sure makes the bad stuff seem not so bad.

I'm truly glad you got your site working properly again.

Great news! I have the opposite trouble with word press whee I have started to put my poems -- I can upload photos there but I can't get them together with my poems. Somehow, I got a few of them but no one seems to be able to help me with my problem and thse photos on the site were a miracle or something. lol Thus, I have stopped doing my word press blog. . .

Dropped by to see yoru blessing for this weekend but found an earlier "blesing" that you got your blog fixed ok. That's neat!

I'm just doing CMF ads for more traffic. CMF is sort of like Entrecard, its mostly traffic based. Also, CMF ads gives me a good way to receive my $25 from Bloggeries, for reaching 1000 posts.
