Upgrade to Wordpress 2.3

07 Jan

Posted by User Image Jay as Site News

Just a quick note that I’ve upgraded the blog to Wordpress 2.3.

This was relatively painless, although one of the plugins I was using turned out to be incompatible (the EXEC PHP Widget), and so I had to find a replacement. For part of the weekend, none of the PHP code I was using in the sidebar was showing, so the top commentators list, featured posts, etc, was gone. It’s all back now.

Also, at least one comment seems to have been lost in the transition (one by Chris on the Fast Directory Submitter Review post). Sorry about that Chris! At the end of the contest I’ll give you one extra entry into the random drawing to make up for it.

Hopefully everything is in order now, but if something blows up on you, please use the contact form to let me know.

This blog is supported through sales, not ads (although I am testing Adsense placement right now). If you like a product I've reviewed, buying it through my link helps keep the site alive and more reviews coming.

*laugh* Yeah, I intentionally waited a little while, to see how 2.3 shook out, and then lost track of it until just now.

I waited all this time too and just upgraded this weekend to the latest version… I was really afraid of messing things up but turned out relatively easy… and a lot of relief!

Getting your content from blogger to Wordpress is very easy. Wordpress will import it all for you.

The hardest part is finding a theme you like! I went through dozens before settling on this one.

I’m always nervous about version upgrades…that’s what comes from being a programmer, I know all the things that can go wrong!
