You may notice some really screwed up things while I try to fix it. I upgraded to wordpress 2.3 and lost all of my categories. Fortunately I’d backed up my blog — last week. So I reinstalled the older version of wordpress, dumped and reinstalled my database then imported some of the lost entries (but not all) and upgraded again. These last two wordpress upgrades have been awful but I think part of the problem is that my blog is so damn big. I kinda wonder if I shouldn’t break my blog up into smaller blogs or something — like a purely archival blog. It’s six years of nearly every single date updating and it’s unwieldy. Meanwhile, please have patience with the mess!!

Fingers crossed for you!
You’re the second person I know who has had issues with the upgrade. I’m waiting.
From your point of view, I think a selectively chosen “archive blog” would definitely make all these upgrades easier. Although I’d hate to lose the freedom of wandering around in the dim recesses from time to time!
Tell Noah thanks for the responses (his answers appear to be one of the lost posts, but my feed-reader “caught” it). Also tell him, if he read over your shoulder, that I didn’t think his answers were “rather dull.” I thought they were concise.
