Blogging updates
I like updates, upgrades and new stuff.
I’ve updated to Wordpress 2.0 beta2 and made some cosmetic improvements — at least I think they are — like the “about” box on the top right. I tried very hard to install a “new post email notifier“, but gave up when I got hungry and cranky. If anyone thinks they will use it, let me know and I’ll give it another go.
I did install “subscribe to comments“, something I’d like to see in other weblogs and think is highly useful. You can get notification of any new comments on any particular post, even if you did not comment. It is also very easy to manage your subscriptions as well. Give it a try and let me know of any issues.
There are many plug-ins out there for wordpress, if you’d like to see any on this weblog, just ask.
The upgrade went fairly smooth. But then again, I didn’t have many “after-market” features to migrate. I was kind of disappointed with the lack of new features, though. One of the reasons I upgraded now with the beta is because I wanted to enhance your side-channels experience without needing to do it again when the official release comes out. When I obtain a good picture of myself, that’s going to be up there in the corner to make you feel “connected” :) This is a good time to plug my “Guest map” again… if you are not on it, I’d like you to be.
I’ve encouraged an office mate to create a weblog. I came up with the theme and the names (”Fenglish” and “I’m Chinese. Correct my English”), which I think are quite funny. Feng is a smart guy and a great sport about the whole thing. Check it out.
