Updated wordpress to 2.5.  Hopefully it hasn’t broken the LJ crosspost plug-in…

Update:

The only noticeable SNAFU in the upgrade seems to be the substitution of some odd character substitutions for punctuation.  Although they were not re-crosscposted to LJ so it is only showing up on the main site.  I can live with that…

Update 2:

The problem is the original install encoded in latin1 while the upgrade uses utf-8.  I looked at the process of Converting Database Character Sets .  It isn’t particularly well documented but it looks more time consuming then difficult.  I will just wait for a script or update to g30rg3_x converter plug-in.  It is definitely not compatible with version 2.5.  It truncated several of my posts. Fortunately I heeded the backup warnings first…

I am updating my MX which is what guides email through the intertubes.  If you need to reach me feel free to IM me at coreyjf on AIM

Update – Not sure if it is fully propagated, but I have email on the new server!
