The Ultimate Infomercial!

That’s right, Ladies and Gentlemen! Stay tuned during prime time tonight and see what the world is going crazy about! Find out what Oprah wants to stuff under every seat in America!

That’s right! Tonight only, we have that mesmerizing stupor star who is sharper than a Ginsu knife in a snow storm, almost as useful as a pocket fisherman in the desert! He doesn’t need a microphone, he IS Mr. Microphone! You owe it to your family, to yourself, (and to the government once he’s elected) to watch Mr. B.O. slice and dice the truth as he effectively weasels his way into your heart and deep into your wallet.

Yes, I know. You’re asking, “But, Ron, is his sweet talking ways really that effective?” Don’t take my word on it! Just look how he managed to delay a major Baseball game for this Infomercial … the very Pennant Race Game that Mother Nature herself had already delayed through her powers. If this doesn’t prove that he is as powerful as Mother Nature, I’ll refund your vote. (Note: Refund offer void where prohibited and prohibited where void.)

Of course, everyone who watches will ask, “Does B.O. smell as good as he looks?” Hey! After four years, no one has complained of those odorous whiffs from his Senatorial pork spending. You know he’s as fresh as a daisy!

Speaking of which, unlike this year’s election, ABC is giving you a choice and airing “Pushing Daisies” at the same time as this Infomercial. But you have to ask yourself, “Do I want to watch a show about fantasy and the humorous murders of dreams or do I want to watch ‘Pushing Daisies’?”

But wait! There’s more! Vote now and he’ll include an equally deceptive counterpart complete with laugh-filled moments of flaws and flubs. You too can have the infamous, “”When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television…” That’s right, act now and with this Veg-O-Matic, you can be entertained for months on end by his political antics. For three easy payments (and one really complicate payment that involves your freedoms), you too can have two bureaucratics for the price of one! All this and much, much more!

So call and vote now and be a part of the nightmare, er, of his dream! Operators are standing by … because they can’t have chairs … not taxing enough …

Next week, we will fall in line with the TV and news coverage. So be sure to tune in for our passing nod to the high quality product: the J.M. Rotisserie. Just stick a fork in him, folks. He’s done.

WordPress Upgrade Path

After yesterday’s adventure in update to the newly secured WordPress 2.2.1, I was curious about when new versions would be coming out. According to the official WP Roadmap site, version 2.2 may be released in the middle of July and 2.3 in mid-August. I was planning on waiting for version 2.3 but there are some serious security bugs fixed by version 2.2.1.

If you need to update your WordPress, here is the upgrade instructions. In a nut shell, there are five steps:

    1) Basically backing up your database files. I also copied all of the files related to my blog to my home computer as part of the backup.

    2) Deactivate ALL of the plug-ins. At this point, I went ahead and logged out of my WordPress admin. I remained logged into my Bluehost account so that I could work with the files. I also have a file called iron.html . I rename it to index.html and this will show up instead of my blog. It announces to my visitors that I’m in the process of upgrade (or in the case yesterday, having technical difficulties) and to come back later. Just a courtesy. If you would have visited yesterday, you would have been greeted with this.

    3) Replace all files that are listed in the upgrade process. One thing that the process doesn’t mention is deleting wp-content\themes\classic and wp-content\themes\default directories, and then adding the newer versions of those directories that come in the WordPress update ZIP file.

    4) Run the wp-admin/upgrade.php file from your browser’s address bar (as in http://yourBlogNameAddress/wp-admin/upgrade.php).

    5) I then log back into my site’s admin page. After renaming index.html to index.htm_ , I then open my blog site in another window as a visitor. This way, as I activate each plug-in ONE AT A TIME, I can refresh my visitor window to make sure nothing crashes.

Anyway, the instructions are much clearer than I have briefly written here. I just wanted to make notes for future reference. I hope that this helps both of us! :D
