I changed my tagline from “yet another WordPress blog” to “If we could sum it up in a tagline, it wouldn’t be interesting”. I hit refresh. Nothing. I logged out. Nothing. I came back today. It was changed. It looks like WordPress connects to a DB on the back end. The DB takes some time to update. It could have happened any time last night. OK, it probably happened a few minutes after I logged off… but what, praytell, was all that computing power doing, just to change a string?
Of course, this is probably all fixed in the latest version of WordPress (or so I’d hope), but Yahoo apparently isn’t ready to upgrade yet. So, this is partially an “I hate Yahoo” rant.
It all comes back to “If you want something done right, do it yourself”, but then the answer to that is always “what would I really gain by doing my site manually, or writing a better blogger?”. Well, I’d gain the PHP experience to put on my resume, which might not be such an awful thing since I’m looking for a job; but in the meantime I’ll keep posting here. If I decide to do a manual site, I’ll post updates on the progress here until the manual site is good enough to replace the blog.
