So I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5, and to the latest version of the Mandigo theme I’m using, and I didn’t break anything!

Well, that’s not true.  Using WS_FTP (free FTP software I find less confusing than the file manager in Cpanel), I tried to make a backup on my local computer of just the Wordpress files of my site.  Little did I know that downloading multiple folders at once opens over 70 connections to my server, which my server interprets as an attack.  My IP address blocked, it seems that everyone in the world could see my site but me.  It only took a few hours to get the host to take me off the blocked list.

I have no idea how to keep my FTP client from opening so many connections at once, except to manually download backup files just 20 or so documents at a time, so that’s what I did to finish backing up the Wordpress portion of my site.

The only thing that I cannot seem to get working are the Gravatars.  I’ve tried putting every code snippet imaginable within my comments.php file, turned on the permissions for them in the dashboard, even tried plugins.  I can’t get it to work.
