WordPress Maintenance

January 12, 2006 by debbie T | WordPress

I have decided to work on a little maintenance behind the scenes in the WordPress software. In the past, I have been using Textile 1 for formatting my entries. I like Textile, but lately it has been bugging me, so I am going to try Markdown.

When I initially switch, there might be problems with the formatting of my entries, but I hope to check through all of them, so eventually all should be well.

UPDATE: So far, Markdown seems to be working for me. I think I like it better than Textile. I am trying to look at all my posts, and so far, it is not too messed up. I have seen a few problems with underscores (Markdown uses the underscore for \_emphasis\_) but they can be fixed by escaping with a \

I also am preparing to upgrade to WordPress 2.0, but I want to make sure all my files and database tables are backed up first.
