i just upgraded 2 of my blogs, this ones and my freelance blog, alone on the web, to wordpress 2.71.

alone on the web upgraded just fine, but the life of buford at first was a real failure.

for the first hour after upgrading i could not login to the admin panel of wordpress at all. all i saw was a white page with the message "error 500 - internal server error" and "try again later".

well, i thought it was the end of that blog for sure. i posted on twitter asking for help and all.

the strange thing was that i tried this at least 5 times and no luck. the other strange thing is that i was able to post to the blog using iblogger on the iphone just fine and the post showed up on the blog.

so an hour later i tried again and it logged me right in and it looks fine. odd behavior at best. i hope everything is fine.

the new interface looks very nice. i will have to play around with it and do some more testing.

anybody else have this off "error 500" business?
