The corollary of ‘measure twice, cut once’ for computer use is something like, ‘README twice, click ‘upgrade automatically?” once.

I knew — somewhere, just not front and center — that the auto-upgrade feature of WordPress would overwrite any code you may have inserted into the ‘classic’ or ‘default’ themes. So, the sidebar and footer are ‘default’ now.

I knew that.

I think I have backups around here, somewhere… (/rolls eyes)

    Yeah, well… Some of us learn by example and some of us learn by scar tissue. Multiple times, it would appear. The former is the smrter [in the Homer Simpson's sense] method. :-)

    good post, i think auto upgrade anything is potentially a bad idea, there’s always a chance that it could ruin your stuff.
