Blog maintenance ongoing
I'll be doing some major maintenance for Coredump.
I'm currently on Dreamhost, and it has these one-click installs that have one-click upgrades, too, which is cool.
Thing is, I did that one-click thingie using iandexter.tambay.org, and I just used some nifty mod_url_rewrite snippet to redirect the WP install there to iandexter.net. The one-click upgrade doesn't work for these transferred domains, so I had to manually copy over files from the old domain to the new one -- very tedious.
What I'm planning to do:
Looks pretty easy, except, for step 1. I also have to disable plugins, save the theme modifications I did (hmmm... maybe it's time for a new theme? But K2 works great for me!), and restore them when the new install goes up.
Hay... Maintenance work is ahead, so to my two or so loyal readers, I apologize for the inconvenience.

What I'm planning to do:
- Back up the WP install in both iandexter.net and iandexter.tambay.org.
- Remove the contents of iandexter.net (required for the one-click install).
- Do that one-click-install thingamajig.
- Restore the WP database to the new install.
- Remove the install in iandexter.tambay.org.
