Okay, cool. New Wordpress, new features. Looks good, but honestly I’m getting a little tired of doing these upgrades all the time (especially since there are quite a few people who depend on me to do their upgrades for them). Anyway, check it out, if you’re a Wordpress user.
If you need your blog upgraded, give me a shout and I’ll do it (for a fair price, which we can discuss in email). :)
Quick bleg: Go here and vote for Nicki’s Wordpress theme, “Translucent Dream.” I’ve used her themes before and I can personally vouch for her l33t coding skillz–in fact, when I first started digging into WP themes, I learned a lot of what I know by studying some of her free themes! Besides, it’s purty. :D
Please please go vote - Translucent Dream! No registration required, just click over and vote!
(update) DONE!
Have any of you who use Wordpress done the upgrade to 2.5 yet and encountered problems?
I upgraded my test database when it first came out, and a bunch of plugins weren’t ready. Have any of y’all upgraded more recently without plugin problems? What about the file uploader?
(Linking to McCain Blogs to see if I can drag in some answers from the trackback people.)
HALP!
I was trying to figure out why the Anchoress wasn’t getting internal pings since I upgraded her to the latest Wordpress release, and I also tried sending her pings/trackbacks from my testing blog (also on WP2.3). Then I started to think (uh oh!)…I haven’t seen any pings or trackbacks here lately, either. I just thought it was because my blog sucks, but now I’m wondering if it’s also because they aren’t working properly…?
Is anyone aware of a problem? Google is not my friend in this case–I haven’t found anyone mentioning it yet. I’m stumped.
Will someone please try to send me a ping/trackback–especially if you’re using WP 2.3?
[Testing a trackback to this post at the Anchoress.]
Stand by for a few, please–Wordpress has put out (yet) another new release. Things will be crappy for a few minutes…
And not so coincidentally, that’s the name of the new theme I just loaded here, thanks to the generosity of the brilliant Nicki (an Alabama sister!) at Nitallica.org. Do me a favor–vote for Nicki’s free Wordpress Christmas theme here, please!
So, do any of you read this blog on a mobile device? If so, what are your thoughts about the mobile site layout?
I’ve been doing a little surfing on my cell phone lately, and you know what? The internet kinda sucks that way. Not this blog since it’s mobile-enabled, but just about every other blog does. I certainly don’t expect everyone to get their sites mobile-friendly, but for Wordpress users, it’s really easy. All you have to do is upload and activate the Wordpress Mobile plugin. Sure, it’s a little plain–okay, VERY plain. That’s kind of a good thing though when using a mobile device, though.
QUESTION for PDA/cellphone users: What sites do you like the best when browsing on your mobile device?
(That means you too, Vinnie, since I know you surf on the Jack Bauer phone!)
By the way, I forgot how freaking amazing the internet is with the Opera browser. It really is the best browser by a longshot–if you don’t need your Firefox extensions. (Obviously, IE users don’t need them, so what are you waiting for?)
I’m also using Opera Mini on the cell phone, so I just fired up Opera and synchronized my bookmarks with Opera Mini (after I imported all my 50 bazillion Firefox bookmarks to Opera 9.5, that is). Best mobile feature evar. If you’re using a mobile device, you simply must try Opera Mini.
The question is, can I live without my Firefox extensions? Doubtful…although the CPU strain might force me to. Grrrrr.
I know yesterday some of you started having problems posting comments here. It was an issue with the Bad Behavior spam plugin–please try again to see if you can comment now!
Martin and I have both lost posts today because we got the 403 error too, so no, it’s not you. I’m upgrading the BB plugin now, but in the meantime, keep your fingers crossed that the spammers will be on vacation. :)
Upgraded to Wordpress 2.3–things might be a little screwy for a bit. Bear with me!
UPDATE: God, I hate IE6. Sorry about this hideous POS Wordpress default theme; I’ll get something up that isn’t an eyesore and doesn’t fall apart in IE this weekend. Thanks a lot to the free theme authors for not testing your stuff in other browsers. Jerks.
