\nI've upgraded the version of BlogEngine.NET<\/a> that powers this site, this weekend. Everything went pretty well except that they have changed the way blog post URLs are fashioned, and as a result I've broken most of the internal links in my old posts.\n<\/p>\n

\nI'll fix 'em.  Major apologies to anybody who's bookmarked something and can't find it.\n<\/p>\n

\nThere's. No. Turning. Back. Now.\n<\/p>\n

\nEven stupider.  Having updated internal links in over 50 posts here, with some "magic SQL" (hah! plus hours of manual work and checking — please let me know if I've missed any) I realize I can't possibly do the same thing for all the external links in other people's posts, and my own on forums pointing to walkthroughs here.\n<\/p>\n

\nSo I've settled for updating my "Page not available<\/a>" error page, which I hope will point you in the right direction(s). \n<\/p>\n

\nSorrier about this than you can possibly imagine. \n<\/p>\n

\nBut I'm glad of the improved BlogEngine.NET<\/a> functionality, security, and bug fixes. I was an early adopter, and have actually put off doing this for since their first release.  That means ferretting out 4 of their update advisories for appropriate SQL db changes, etc.  Ugh. \n<\/p>\n

\nIt was worth it. <\/strong>And it's the first time my site has had to have this kind of "episode", or be down in any important way, in over two years. I'm still sorry.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
