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…
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…
I have been doing some maintenance on my webhost and cleaning up old sites, databases, files, etc. Earlier today I goofed and nuked the database for this site. But, before I started I used the WordPress export tool in wp-admin to export all my posts, etc. (or so I thought). I had just done a…
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…
Everyone knows these days that Facebook is a huge social networking site. At first, it can be overwhelming and a bit hard to figure out, but once you get used to it, you realize that it is a lot more interactive than Myspace. At least I think so. It’s easier to keep up with what…
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. LittleTechGirlKris Cain is…
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…
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…
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…
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… LittleTechGirlKris Cain is mom to 2 sets of twins, photography nut, gadget addict, web designer, and blogger who has worked in IT for over…
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,…
