Well, there is start up issues with whatever web content, script or whatever that you are starting to run for the first time.  This is true, whether it’s server-based, such as happens with a blog, or running on your local desktop.

My security plugin scanned, and detected a new version, so wanted to update it.  The process puked and failed.  I tracked down the issue to the upgrade directory not having the right permissions.  I fixed it this morning by simply doing ‘chmod 777 upgrade’.  End of story.  It’s working as it should, now.

For now, user registration is off.  I am pondering the risks vs. advantages to enabling it.  So, if anybody wants a blog user account, simply message me on Facebook.
