Today I resurrected a build from last year, an Open Network Registrar instance in hopes of finding a better dns engine than what I am using right now. However, it seems too weak for me. Its very basic, and still has flaws that have not been resolved in a couple ...

Upgrade my WordPress installs from v2.3.3 to the new version 2.7.  Much better admin interface and features – though the public facing site part is no different at all. So the upgrade was easy as could be.  Their documentation is very good.  It was a matter of doing the phpMyAdmin db ...
