Here’s a tip for those new to upgrading WordPress if you don’t like, or trust, the automatic upgrade. It’s relatively quick, easy, and leaves you with minimal downtime while still retaining the ability to revert back.

Note that I keep WordPress in its own folder to keep the files/folder structure on my webserver clean… It’s key in this upgrade method.

The majority of my updates lately have been under this “News” category because I’ve been posting updates as I’m making progress on my redesign. I predominantly use Twitter for my regular journal/blog-like quick updates – but anything longer than that goes under the “Journal” category. What about everything else?

I have a couple of other categories that I use for writing up technical How-Tos and reviewing concerts, computer hardware/software, etc. Check the top navigation for a quick direct link to that page. Otherwise, browse each category via the Archvies page.

As I have time I will also be adding a “Links” page. Let me know if you’d like to be included or if I have an out of date link for you.

Thanks!

Captcha has been fixed and is required for new user registrations and commenting without an account. I figured that not everyone’s going to want to register for yet another account somewhere if they want to just post a single comment, so I allowed unregistered users to add comments. If the spam gets too much (which it shouldn’t with the captcha) I will disable that again.

Enjoy!

I’m going to enable new user registration. Actually, I’ve already enabled it – but there appears to be an issue with the captcha that I need to work out before anyone can actually signup and post comments.

More progress has been made. There’s more functionality, and a few things have been fixed & cleaned up. The Archives page is readable, and there’s now both a functional “Journal” & “About” page. There are still bugs on my ToDo list though.

Still to do: Fix the weird horizontal scrolling; Fix the pagination; Clean up the CSS & the comment posting forms, etc.; Add a captcha solution & enable anyone to post comments.
