Holidailies: we all must learn from small misfortune

Hey there - I am doing Holidailies again. I know that LJ is sort of a ghost town for a lot of the people who built a community here over the past few years, but I also know that Holidailies is one of those things that a few of you really seem to dig. So, I am doing it again, and putting the entries over at my domain, which I really should use, as I have oodles of bandwidth and squidtrillions of storage space.

(Speaking of which - if anyone has Wordpress experience and can help me figure out why a few project blogs of mine have failed to upgrade and now throw database errors at me, I would be most grateful. It's distressing to think that the content on those blogs is gone now, but I have no idea what the hell happened, and it would be cool to rescue them, after all this time. Comment if you're willing to help me out. Maybe I can pay in cookies, or something.)

I don't know if I'll be able to help you, but I certainly can say that I know (at least, fairly modern versions of) Wordpress well. If you have older versions poking around, I'd be a bit suspect of their installations. There were some nasty security bugs discovered a few months back and worms were written to take advantage of them. Some of those worms prevent upgrading (so that the security holes don't get patched). If you'd like, email me with more info about the blogs and we can figure out what some options are.

Are you also going to put the entries here? That would be nice.
