Upgrades

I recently upgraded to the newest version of WordPress. I was a little behind the times. Okay, a LOT behind. My version was getting left in the dust. The reason I didn’t upgrade sooner is the necessity of running SQL version 5 (I was still on 3), which can be a pain to upgrade. Still, the changes are worth the effort I think. I went ahead and started using the new WordPress theme, Twenty Ten, which is why things look a little different. And why I’m sporting a generic banner.

I’ll work on a banner (or maybe use an old one) and smooth out a few things. I don’t like how long it loads in Epiphany, and the columns are disjointed in my version of FireFox. But it loads quick and correct in Chrome. I haven’t tried IE or Safari yet, so if anyone has either of these and can share their experiences on loading/displaying, please do.

One thing I noticed that I’m really irritated about is the stray characters that are showing up in some of the posts, like the Billy Graham post below. This is probably an artifact of upgrading the SQL database and will probably show up where quotations, apostrophes, and the like were used.
