Upgraded to WordPress 3.1.1 at HostMonster

This morning I had an interesting little problem - WordPress 3.1.1 was released with a few nice little fixes, so I went to HostMonster to update my installs. The problem was that since that odd little 3.1 double upgrade, I was unable to upgrade to 3.1.1 because SimpleScripts was saying that the version number was wrong. Not cool.

I'd been upgrading every time SimpleScripts instructed me, but the second upgrade to 3.1 didn't seem necessary, but I did it anyway - and everything worked. But it wasn't without consequences, it seems. So I had to cancel that update - which wasn't obvious, but I figured out, and then I had to upgrade to 3.1.1 within the WordPress site, and then try to upgrade in SimpleScripts.

This second (unnecessary) upgrade finally detected that I had the version that I was updating to, and it just updated the version number in SimpleScripts. This was a big "Whew!" on my part, and it's nice to know what my options are in dealing with these updates. So it's all up to 3.1.1 and things are smooth once again.
