WordPress 3.0 released

About 40 minutes ago I popped over to WordPress.org and download WP 3.o RC3 to check out. As soon as I got it installed I got an update notification that WordPress 3.0 was out! So now I am running the full version on a site that I am setting up. I am anxious to try [...]

WordPress 2.9 post scheduling not working?

There is a bug in WordPress 2.9 that may cause scheduled posts to not publish at the set time. And if you try to then publish the post yourself, it won’t work. I ran into this this morning with my eBay + Kijiji + San Jose = Pure Awesomeness post. The problem is wp-cron. The [...]

My favorite WordPress plug-ins

wordpress

When building a WordPress based CMS site for myself or someone else there are certain plugins that I install by default to make the blog software function as a full featured website. This list changes very little, but of course depends on the function of the site. If the site is a blog, then more plugins are [...]

My blog is now iPhone compatible

Ok, so I just found the coolest WordPress plugin (for today) by accident. It is WPtouch: WordPress on iPhone. It automatically formats your blog for an iPhone when visited… well, from an iPhone! It’s looks really cool, includes Ajax, and a very neat menu at the top. Here are some screen shots.

Building my new web portal – ideas needed

So, I have 3 websites/blogs that I maintain, this one, http://doubletwinz.com and http://caincreative.biz. I also have a few other domains that I do stuff with, and a few that I have been holding to do something with… some day! One of these is http://kristilecain.com. My idea for this domain is for it to be my [...]

Twitter

As you can see by the tools in the sidebar at the right, I have started using Twitter. I have heard about it forever, but at first didn’t see the point, so I never checked it out. I just finally signed up a few days ago and have started posting “tweets”. It’s a quick way [...]

Upgrade done! Less than 20 minutes…

Including backing up the database, and WordPress posts, uploading the files, upgrading the db, and reactivating my whopping 2 plugins (I used to have so many more). Well that went VERY quick and painless. I am so happy! So far the interface looks outstanding! Now I must play around more with the differences to comment [...]

Wish me luck, I am about to upgrade to WP 2.7…

I was just about to put the laptop down and go to bed, but then the flashy thingy that WordPress 2.7 is available caught my attention, I read a bit about it and I cannot resist doing it right now!! I will probably get started now and finish up tomorrow by reinstating some of my [...]

Another WordPress upgrade issue

Geez… all my categories have disappeared. I tried a couple of fixes found on the WordPress site, and they did not work for me. So, I am rebuilding my categories. Sigh…

ShareThis plugin issue

I love the ShareThis plugin. I have been using it for quite a while. Also, I notice that it is taken over the web. I believe it started as a plugin by Alex King. Now it’s has it own identity, community, website, forum, etc. Wow! I upgraded Wordress from version 2.2 to version 2.6 yesterday, [...]
