Here’s what I did.

1. Upgrade to the latest version of WordPress
2. Upgrade all of your Plugin that can be upgraded
3. I also found some weird “Hello Dolly” plugin that I deleted. (not sure that did anything but hey, stuff works now)
4. Also, if you’re using IE8I had to click “Compatibility View” to get the post-new.php page to render.

Hope that helps! Good luck all!

UPDATE: This has not resolved all the issues on all of my WP sites.  I’m still getting this error:

The interesting thing is that I’m getting this error on admin panels that work and those that don’t so I can’t say for certain if this is actually the cause of the problem.

UPDATED AGAIN:

Ok. So now I’m deleting the wp-admin and wp-includes folders. I have downloaded a fresh version of WordPress and am in the process of re-uploading those folders. Fingers Crossed.

Well, that was pretty much all of 2009 for me. I think the last real post was sometime in March of ’09 or something. Yeesh!

In an effort to change to change all that in 2010, I’ve completely wiped out my old site and and currently in the process of back-filling all my old blog posts into WordPress here.

It’s actually terribly interesting (to me) to go back and look how my thoughts and opinions have changed since I last started blogging regularly. I use the word “terribly” since I don’t necessarily agree with everything I thought a year ago. So much changes so quickly in this industry. Maybe I wouldn’t have been so hard on some people (I said “maybe”), for example.

Well, there it is. The Mea Culpa to myself for letting this go for so long. Please pardon the generic WordPress theme for now. I’ll be trying to personalize stuff as much as possible over the next few weeks.

Thanks for reading everyone!

I look forward to a fantastico 2009!
