We may not make it a fucking ordeal, but you can bet your ass that we’ll point out all the bugs as soon as we find them. A certain amount of whining about the new layout is also to be expected.

Here’s hoping it works out better than the last update, which actually made shit worse.
It’s a quality blog around here.
And buy some end tables. I click on the Amazon link every damn time so that you can get new end tables.

@Suzanne: Have faith Suzanne, since I am the person that is about to start doing it, it will be much, much faster and the end result better (fingers crossed). And since I PLAN to be here non-stop the next two days right in front of you if you want to punch me in the gut (I would prefer questions and “good job dude” — but who am I kidding), if there is a bug I’ll fix it on the “fly.” Oh and since I am also an active member, you better believe I want it to work as well, not just because I did it :)!!!!!!!!!

As a software professional, let me suggest that reporting bugs can be useful, especially if you make an effort to include enough useful information that someone can actually do something with it. Information about how much it pisses you off isn’t useful to anyone, especially if you’re reporting the problem for the first time.

So how long will the site be down?
Tommy Young
@Roger Moore: That would be correct.

@Roger Moore: Yes, please do try to pay attention, Roger.

@Baud: I have faith (in myself) or I would not have done this. I know the crowd here can be tough to say the least. I also have pretty thin skin about my work and knew even if we got a team of the best WordPress developers in the world (and I am nothing close, but darn good) together people would bitch. I also knew I could hide and continue to post and not “out” myself, but not really my style. But in the not to distant future we will see if I was right in this thinking :).

@Tommy Young: I clicked your name and got:
You’re upgrading the wrong site.
Tommy Young
@redshirt: Not so much ….
Now just so everybody knows, for a few minutes this site is going to fucking blow up as I switch themes and put it into Maintenance mode (that would be a good signal to sign-off and do something else). But have faith. We’ll be back sooner then you think and then you can beat me blooded but how the font is too large, the fonts are two small. You don’t like that color or this color. Why the heck did you put that there and gosh knows what else.
Good bye old site …………

This site is completely borked. It wouldn’t let me post this message, which you can’t even read right now unless you’re stranded here from an alien world without your knowledge, suffering amnesia. Which none of the Juicers here are, since they can’t read this.
