After a fair amount of work, the blog is back close to what it was. I restored all the missing image links but one. I updated to the latest version of WordPress (2.9). I updated the database to UTF-8, getting rid of some funny accented characters, but in place some of the blogs have highlighted question marks in them (these things: �). I have been manually deleting these, but some posts may still have them. Oh, well.
I’ve backed up everthing. Only new problem is that for some reason I can’t upload any more images since the upgrade. I don’t know why. That’s why I had to delete one EP Simulator screenshot post; I couldn’t re-upload the image. The image in question though is here. Again, I’m not sure what’s wrong, but I have other things to do and it is time to give the blog a rest.
