I used to run an old blog, and I'm thinking about resurrecting it.

The problem?

I'd like to hide all the older entries. The last one I wrote was in 2008.

:shifty:.

I'm thinking of doing a complete over haul of the site and just... re-doing it completely and doing a whole new .. scheme.

But, I'd like to hide the site's actual older posts.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks guys and gals.

I suppose it doesn't matter anymore though.. I tried updating to the latest version .. followed all the directions.. and when I hit refresh on my site... all I get is a white page on my site. :(

I think I destroyed my site.

I'll have to ask my brother who helped me set it up in the first place what I did wrong.

You didn't destroy anything, just sounds like something either didn't get fully updated or bad permissions.

Did you try upgrading via the backend / automatic way or did you manually upload via FTP?

PS - If you have aim, send me an IM to jordanriane and I can probably help you out with it.

I r wordpress pr0. ;). 6 years under my belt of being able to screw up wordpress every way possible :D

Yeah, I can guarantee that the server you're on hit their memory wait/max time out and you have partially uploaded folders and/or wrong permissions.

http://wordpress.org/latest.zip -- Manually upload. Don't need to worry about it overwriting anything, and you can always skip the wp-content directory.

Next time you want to auto upgrade, I highly recommend you deactivate all plugins first. You might have a greater chance of a successful upgrade.

Thats.. what I did .. D: I think I forgot to disable plugins though.. and thats what screwed up. :(

And the server is my brothers own server. It'll never time out unless I specify time out time.

I get that a lot when I manually update my site. Just be sure to have your databases protected.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
