 * so, I have no idea how to fix this:
 * Google+ Comments for WordPress requires PHP 5.3+ and will not be activated, your
   current server configuration is running PHP version ‘5.2.17’ . Any PHP version
   less than 5.3.0 has reached ‘End of Life’ from PHP.net and no longer receives
   bugfixes or security updates. The official information on how to update and why
   at php.net/eol.php

 * no, that linked page ( php.net/eol.php ) shows that PHP 5.3 was released July
   2009, so almost 4 years ago.

 * ok great. Got an answer from my ISP. It was on native. I changed it to 5.4 in
   my cpanel. Works like a charm. Well almost. WordPress commenting doesnt work.
   I only get a blank commenting area when clicking on the wp logo in the comments.
   No biggy for me, I just turned wp comments off.
