Okay, after some pain, I updated the software running the site and updated the gallery software. Here’s hoping it’s all actually working and not just looking like it’s working.

Let’s see, what’s been done so far.

Removed all the files from the test site. That broke things.

Attempted to consolidate files for Lyra’s page. That broke things.

Created a new database specifically for the golden compass site. That nearly broke things.

Right now this post will determine if the database is okay.

Update: looks like it worked.

So, here’s the first post. We’re running Wordpress 1.5 beta, a recent nightly build. Had a few problems but the magic of the Internet provided the solution. Couldn’t do many of the fixes I usually have to do if I was working through a hosting service. Of course, then again, I’d probably have to be satisfied with running stable releases instead of development builds. There were better templates out there using the 1.5 system, thus the reason for the bleeding edge.

Eventually this will come off my testing host and move into the main site. Probably within a week or so (I hope).
