Hallelujah! Finally I can upload my photos after mucking around without success with the chmod, htaccess file, swfuploads, turning off plug-ins, upgrading of PHP, Adobe flash upgrade, etc and all the various suggestions in WordPress forums … I was not alone in this with the common sentiment that this is “incredibly frustrating” …
In the end it turned out that if I put the full URL path name to the files for upload (in Settings >Miscellaneous) and leaving the “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders” option unchecked that did the trick … *sigh* And I finally get to go to bed at around 1.30 am.
Would I still install the latest updates/upgrades the next time round? You bet I would as the fear or inclination not to try new and challenging stuff(s) and a refusal to accept changes is certainly a sure way to become dull and OLD (and there are heaps aplenty of ‘old’ young people around!). Bring ‘em on! Yeah. But not so soon please OK!

Last week I posted about this ridiculous situation where we have this small hongkie group who does not want to go kayaking on a rainforest kayaking trip!
And it gets even more ridiculous today with this group of 10 from Royal Brunei Airlines Hong Kong & Southern China Agents (and again arranged arranged by STB) who on arrival at the put-in at Bengoh decided to sit it out in their air-conditioned coach leaving Azmi, Max and Bev who were ready to guide them with the kayaks and gears ready, dumbfounded and more than a little perplexed at these superficial tour agents. Next time STB should just send these sort people shopping, karaoke and for hanky-panky massages instead or not bloody entertain them at all. What a waste of time and money. *sigh*
This post is still ridiculously bare naked without any photos as despite my best efforts at changing the folder’s permission(s), creating new folders with 777 permissions and re-installation of WordPress; I am still unable to upload any photos. I still get this darn confounded error message - “Unable to create directory /public_html/fh2o/wp-content/uploads/2008/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
Any ideas anyone out there? Before I tear out whatever remaining ridiculous tuffs I still have remaining on top of my head. I would be eternally grateful. Really. For the remaining tuffs of hair I mean.
WoesPress Version 2.5 indeed. *sigh*

Like a number of things that I’d put off doing for whatever dread or excuse (but which ultimately I may need to face up to); I’d decided to upgrade to WordPress Version 2.5 finally last night.
And my apprehension is not unfounded as I now cannot post any photos to my post! FH2o: Kuching Kayaking without photos is like KFC chicken without the skin or durians without the smell or kayaking without water … whatever
I’ll sort this one out soon enough; I hope.

Phew! It’s done and I’m quite proud of myself as after much contemplation, I’ve conquered my trepidations and successfully switched my blog over from Blogger to the latest release of WordPress 2.3.2! Yup - it’s done and just in time for 2008; and with all the posts and comments intact! I’m not that clever - just that I’m good in reading instructions! It’s not that difficult really but of course Blogger is much easier.
I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while now and I’m glad I did as I had been mucking around with and getting to know the various features of WordPress which are much better than Blogger. I highly recommend the switch. I’ll discuss the various major advantages WordPress have over Blogger over the course of 2008 as I ‘blog along’!
Anyway there’s still work to be done on the header images, links, stats counter, etc which I’ll do so on the remaining 2 days of leave left. So stay tuned if you’re also contemplating making the switch! If ‘unker’ can do it - anyone else surely can! And just in case anyone misses my old blog - I’ve made a back-up (smart hor, in case I messed up big time!) at http://fh2ho.blogspot.com that you can check out on. Now it’s time for me to happily go to sleep! More tomorrow that’s for sure.
