Upgraded the sofware that forms the backbone of the website today.  Had a hiccup or two, but you wouldn’t have noticed if you were logged in.  It was only affecting guests.

Taken care of now and running smoothly.  Didn’t even have to update the forum skin, despite a major version change.

One other bit of software to upgrade, but it’s less used and completely unrelated to the public side, so I’m not in a hurry on that one.  I can deal with it whenever.

Got more of my backend utilities for the shorts done today, and coded something I’m going to add to the backend of “Latest Updates” to make that process easier as well.

Still no luck writing this weekend.  Just not feeling it.  I did backspace part of Lowborn that didn’t feel right and got started on the new direction this evening, though.  Going to try to get back to that in a few, now that the minor issue with the upgrade is taken care of.
