Maybe we could build a fire, sing a couple songs, huh?
You probably didn’t notice that I upgraded my site’s software today. From my end of the screen, the new Wordpress v 2.1 release installed without a hitch. If the three of you reading along are having issues, let me know.
In contrast, yesterday’s train wreck of a site upgrade at Chowhound has thousands of angry villagers lighting the torches and sharpening their escargot forks. CNet management continues to respond to pissed off site users, and repairs to the massive pooch screwing flow forth.
While the Chicken Little types run around like Bill Paxton’s character in Aliens, I’m certain a company with Cnet’s resources will sort out the mess they made. It’s easy to get pissed at them. Chowhound’s about us, the community. Hell, them’s are us. What’s with the hating, people?
Give it time, chowhounds. These site changes will work out. In the meantime, I’ll be twiddling the knobs on my own little website, waiting for the inevitable day when something breaks…
