I’m going to be switching around my WordPress installation in a few minutes. I know not many of you read this, and an outage of a few minutes will probably go unnoticed, but I thought I’d throw up a warning anyhow.
For those who care, I’m switching from tarballs / standard installation to using Subversion. Thus I’ll be able to update easier in the future (I hope).

I will be on the edge of my seat, gripping my mouse in white-knuckled anticipation of the moment when the site comes back up.
In all seriousness, I’ve been doing the Subversion thing for a while, and it’s pretty awesome.

Yeah, I just need to sort out which plugins need copying over. I have to say, the prospects of just doing ‘svn switch blah’ are appealing.

I switched to using svn a while back for our blog, and it makes upgrading nice and easy. Hopefully your experience will be the same.

It looks like everything’s back up and running…

Huh, that commenting was weird. Let’s try that again.

I guess maybe I shouldn’t accidentally double-click the ‘submit’ button.
