Wordpress 2.5

Tags : , , ,

Categories : Housekeeping, Quotes, Video, mandolin |

Just upgraded my blog software to Wordpress 2.5. I think I’ve been stuck in 2.1 for quite some time now - for some reason I never bothered to update to the versions in between. Upgrading to 2.5 was pretty quick and painless, and certainly the interface seems much nicer with more powerful editing and management features. And most of my plugins seem to work quite well.

The remainder of this post will be a bit of a test post to try and make sure some things are still working… but read on nonetheless…

To test the YouTube embedding, here’s a video clip from Nickel Creek, one of my favourite bands at the moment, and part of my ongoing journey into bluegrass…

Here’s a quote from one of the books I’m currently reading :

Our life’s dance is not painted for us in footsteps on the floor. It’s not laid out so we know where to place our next step. We simply have to judge which steps best fit the rhythms that we hear.

~ Paul Marshall Heaven is not my Home p62

And the new version has tags. I’ve never previously bothered to use tags on my blog, choosing to stick simply with categories. But since wordpress 2.5 supports it natively, and the rest of the web is going that way, I guess I’ll be tagging my blog posts from now on…

    I’m not too impressed with 2.5. The thing that annoyed me about Wordpress 2.5 was the gallery. I had to view in full screen just to add images.

    Yes I agree. The gallery/upload feature does not seem to be working at all for me. I can no longer upload pictures onto the site. Will search for a fix for it tonight.

    Just to update I’ve fixed the problem with picture uploading. I edited the .htaccess file as detailed in this site : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/162373/page/2
