- I’ve updated the core to WordPress 3.11
- I’ve update the plugins that needed it, including an update to QuickCache which seems to have aided the speed.
- Auto-database backups are still running and doing well. The database is backed up every few hours and sent to the big file server at Casa de Bit, along with complete copies of the PHP files. I’m working on a fallback routine which will at the push of a button, drop the site into Maint mode and put the last backup of all files into place. Test runs have gone well, downtime less than 15 minutes for a complete replace. Not too shabby.
- I’ve noted a drop-off in the hits per day, mostly based on the new way Google is doing things. Given the leftist tilt of Google Management, this isn’t a shock. I’ll be taking action later this week on the matter.
