Upgrade to WordPress 1.5.1
| 17/5/2005 | Posted by Pete under General |
See the original announcement of the new WordPress version. I upgraded this site a couple of hours ago, and it looks like the upgrade was mostly successful. Also, you may notice I have added a few extra plugins to the WordPress installation, which should make the site slower, but better. I’ve had a few minor hiccups with this 1.5.1 upgrade where a few plugins refused to work. The main disappointment is that BAStats plugin no longer works, which means that I am no longer able to track hits to the site in the level of detail I have become accustomed to.
I have yet to turn on the Static page generation, as this has not become an issue, but I am looking at writing my own plugin, which will allow the static generation to be turned on and off on a category or post basis, allowing finer grained control of the static files.

This is the book I want to get next – Unfortunately it will need to wait until I manage to get some more money. However if anyone wants to buy it for me, or just one of the books, or even send me a second hand copy I would like to read it again.
I suppose I should be careful, or this site will turn into one large advert for amazon. Not that anyone visits here, or cares anyway.
On a related note, has anyone seen the film yet? Post comments and thoughts here.

Due to a problem with the default WordPress template, I had to disable comment posting for pages. However this should now be fixed.

RSS feeds and Google
| 9/5/2005 | Posted by Pete under General |
Since adding RSS feeds (and logging) to my blog, I have noticed that the googlebot tends to visit my page a lot more than it used to. It seems that Google likes to crawl pages with RSS links in. I guess thats because its easy for them to get a bunch of links from an RSS feed than to scan a page to determine if anything has changed.
It also seems that due to blogshares I have a larger number of incoming links from various sites. If anyone wants to link to this site, or individual pages within it, I have no objections. What I do object to is referer spamming. This will not work on this site, as I don’t publish referer information on any search engine visible part of the site. So just don’t do it. You know who you are.

Run Firefox with the -p parameter on the end to get the profile manager. You will then be able to create and delete profiles and choose which one to start up with.
