I just finished upgrading WordPress on the site from 2.0.6 to 2.1.2, which is actually a pretty big jump. For some reason, as of today, I was getting some MySQL errors (see below) when I attempted to post. I called Go Daddy support and they recommended I upgrade WordPress. They did not give me an actual reason why – since I was speaking with a first level support person, he was speaking to second or third level. I can only assume that they recently upgraded MySQL and that is why I suddenly started getting the error messages, newer version of MySQL didn’t like the older version of WordPress too much.
