UPDATE 08/04 Monday night: Twenty Sided is now on the latest version of WordPress. There are more updates to do, but as I’ve mentioned, we’re taking it slow and careful. Everything looks ok SO FAR, but please let us know if you see something not working.

Starting Monday the website will begin a series of updates. Many minor things have already been done, but some very important upgrades still need to be made. As of right now, the most likely thing to break at some point is the existing theme. Nothing fundamental that we know of, and we expect the theme to be fixable. Or in the worst case, we may have to use a temporary theme until the Twenty Sided design can be fixed. Of course, there could be things we’re not aware of. Some things are well-documented, or at least some version was well-documented. Shamus talked about some of his work directly on the website, but in many cases things were changed after the last time he discussed them.

I want to assure everyone that IN THE WORST CASE OUTCOME, the *ENTIRE* website is backed up. And another backup will be made before changes are applied. And yes, copies of the backups are being kept off-site. But even upgrading things as carefully as we can, something might break. We’re trying to plan for that. There are a few different methods of recovery that will get the website right back to where it was, *with* the upgrades done. I just can’t promise from where we are it’ll be five minutes off-line a couple of times and then everything will be done. I’m not expecting that. It *could* happen; I’m just not counting on it.
