I have been using\u00a0WordPress\u00a02.3.3 for a long time. I had done a few\u00a0customization, and redoing them for the sake of using the latest\u00a0WordPress\u00a0didn&#8217;t seem like a worthy effort. So I was happy using the old\u00a0WordPress, until this week when I wanted to post a new article. I try to login and to my shock, the blog was broken. I didn&#8217;t like it one bit. But\u00a0WordPress\u00a0being a free application, there is not much one can do other than accept that its not something that I can raise a ticket for and expect a solution. So I began to &#8216;Google&#8217; the error. It took me three days to get it up and yes&#8230; I had to upgrade and loose all the &#8216;cool&#8217;\u00a0customization.
