Just upgraded this blog to the new 2.1 version, and nothing broke. Quite a feat considering the amount of plugins I’m using.
Me happy. Time to play around with all the new stuff.
I’m even happier with the new Akismet plugin, which now enables me to protect our few WordPress MU blogs. Thank you very much Matt.
Gotta love open source; Design by David Herreman, WordPressed by Ericulous, Widgetized by me. I loved the look of it but our WordPress MU bloggers all want their widgets. So after modifying it I figured other people might like it as well…
So WordPress’ Matt extends a hand of friendship to allow other blogging systems to use his wonderful Akismet.
Awesome. I love Akismet.
So why am I not allowed to use Akismet on my WordPress MU installation here on the site even though I’m not an enterprise and I’m only running it for a couple of friends? I’d have to buy a $150 a month enterprise key.
Riiight, like I can afford that.
Release Candidate 2 of WordPress μ, or MU, or Multi User has arrived. And that means the day has come that we’re saying goodbye to our b2evolution blogs and hello to μ.
If you still have a b2evo blog you can signup at the new one and give me a poke, I’ll help you move the posts over. Comments will sadly get lost in translation. Eventually the old ones that have been abandoned will be removed.
The new section is still very much work in progress, but I’m sure you’ll all love the end result. It’s just one of the stages for improvements I have planned around here over the next couple of months.
And if you’re one of our regular members and you want a blog… sign up here.
If you’re unsure whether you qualify as one, feel free to ask.
Finally upgraded to WordPress 2.0 and the latest K2 version. Took a while before I decided to make the jump because I read a lot of horror stories about people being left with b0rked databases, incompatible plugins and lots of other problems.
But here we are, and everything seems to be fine. K2 didn’t require that much tweaking except for adding my own stuff back into a few of the php files. So all’s well from the looks of it, time to see if I can find some new and 2.0 exclusive plugins. This version seems to be more dev oriented with little difference for the enduser, except for a new visual editor everyone seems to disable straight away (me included) and a luvly image upload/manager which works like a charm after some getting used to.
b2evolution looks pretty damn stale at the moment. Hardly any new themes or releases. Promises of a new major withstanding it’s all starting to look a bit old and if it weren’t that to the best of my knowledge it’s still the best of the multi-user systems I’d switch to something else.
In the mean time it’s time to resurrect this thing to see what WP can do and post some randomness now and again. Still not linked anywhere so all is quiet for now.
