Just upgraded to WordPress version 2.7.1 from 2.6.3. I took a different approach this time. Manual upgrading wordpress has started to bore me since long time ago, and now I hope to get rid of the hassle once and for all, let cpanel’s Fantastico handle the upgrade from now on.
Please bear in mind that this is my very own personal experience. Try this at your own risk!
Situation:
Manually installed wordpress on my hosting account, getting tired of upgrading every new version. Decided to switch to Fantastico install, let it handle the upgrades.

Gosh it is almost a year since the last update in this blog. Apparently I have lost all the passion for blogging, but I am not sorry for that. We human seem to get addicted to many things, at different times. I am guilty though, for leaving this blog deserted and became a hive of spams. For this I must apologize, I hate spams as much as any of you. I will try my best to filter out stupid spams that bypass Akismet, on a weekly basis hopefully.
Okay since I’m already here, allow me to share with you something that you probably already knew.

For once, let me be stubborn. I apologize if you are using Internet Explorer 6 or prior. This is how my blog looks in IE6.

While all other browsers, namely Firefox, Opera, Konquerer, and even IE7 are displaying the boxes correctly, IE 6 and prior are not. It is a known fact that Microsoft has been shipping defected Internet Explorer(prior to IE 7) together with their operating system. Many of you just do not know that.
