Well, I’m almost finished with my switch to Wordpress. I still have to sort out my separate archives file and figure out why Dodo’s Threaded Comments aren’t working It will take a while to get used to WP… I already miss my beloved b2! There are a lot more features available for WP, however. I can’t wait to dive in to the pool of Hacks/Plugins.

The skins are down for now. Don’t worry, they’ll be back sooner or later. There’s a lot of old b2 template stuff that I have to update. My first CS 124 project is due in less than 48 hours and I’ve yet to start on it That’s what stinks about getting sick… your routine gets messed up. I’m probably going to pull an all-nighter to make sure that I get all my homework finished. I hope I can keep my eyes open, I’m so sleepy already!

I don’t know if I’m dehydrated or what, but I’ve drank a case of cokes within the span of 3 days. Come to think of it, I’ve eaten a lot, too. Maybe it’s just that time of the month. My you know what is quite irregular… it comes and goes as it pleases. The bad thing is that I never know when it’s gonna show up. I just hope that I’m not wearing white pants that day.

BTW - if you’re interested in switching from b2 to WP and you want to import your old files from b2, you may run into trouble. The directions on doing this are kind of hazy. I got confused and had to start from scratch a couple of times, so I thought I’d post a short tutorial on how to do so.

First off, I followed the instructions found on this site until I got down to this:

DROP TABLE wp_categories;
DROP TABLE wp_comments;
DROP TABLE wp_posts;
DROP TABLE wp_settings;
DROP TABLE wp_users;
RENAME TABLE b2categories TO wp_categories;
RENAME TABLE b2comments TO wp_comments;
RENAME TABLE b2posts TO wp_posts;
RENAME TABLE b2settings TO wp_settings;
RENAME TABLE b2users TO wp_users;

Instead, you should copy and paste the following into the SQL query field:

DROP TABLE wp_categories;
DROP TABLE wp_comments;
DROP TABLE wp_posts;
DROP TABLE wp_users;
RENAME TABLE b2categories TO wp_categories;
RENAME TABLE b2comments TO wp_comments;
RENAME TABLE b2posts TO wp_posts;
RENAME TABLE b2settings TO wp_settings;
RENAME TABLE b2users TO wp_users;

The problem is that in WP 1.2.2 (which I’m using), there is no such thing as wp_settings, therefore it gives you an error when you try to drop it. After I did this, I didn’t run into any other problems. Remember to be sure to backup your b2 database and install the WP tables in the same database as b2. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Must finish my Calculus homework now goodnight.
