I started 37prime.com in 2006 and it is hosted by Yahoo! services. I was glad to find out that Yahoo! web-hosting supported WordPress blog. So I started a WordPress Blog back in 2006. After a while, it seems that Yahoo! no longer keeping up-to-date with WordPress updates. Yahoo!-installed WordPress blogs stuck at version 2.0.2 while newer versions became available. At the time of this posting, 2.3.3 is the latest version of WordPress. I tried upgrading the Yahoo!-installed WordPress, and I could only go up to version 2.0.7, but it was not entirely functional. WP-Cache no longer worked, and some themes are incompatible with version 2.0.x of WordPress.
Now that Yahoo! hosting supports WordPress 2.3.2 for new install, but not for upgrade. This is frustrating.
On March 1st, I started having little problems with the MySql database, and it showed on the WordPress Blog. The more I tried to fix it, the worse it got. To a point, the database was totally corrupted, and I had to restore it to the last good back-up; and that was from October 2007.
Anyway, I decided to install WordPress myself on Yahoo! hosting, and manage to install version 2.3.3 of the software. I decided to leave 37primeBlog as is and continues with 37prime.news from now on. UPDATE: 37primeBlog database is now completely corrupted, it is gone now.
The good news is that 37prime.news is now linked to 37prime.wordpress.com, thanks to all of WordPress API keys. I can now use WordPress.com Global Dashboard for both blogs. I am planning to mirror the postings on both 37prime.news and 37prime.wordpress.com; just in case there’s another catastrophic database explosions.
With WordPress 2.3.3, 37prime.news can have more widgets an better customizations. I would like to thank the WordPress.org, WordPress.com, and those who write plug-ins for this wonderful platform.
