That has to be the simplest upgrade for a web site that I have ever completed. I logged into the site tonight and found that WordPress 3.0 is available. I clicked on the automatic update link and a few minutes later, everything is ready to go with no further effort on my part. All upgrades should be this easy!
Every once in a while, software developers need a good laugh!
I just installed a new plugin for WordPress that detects mobile browsers for mobile devices like the iPhone or iPod touch and automatically presents the blog in a way that is better suited for mobile browsers.
WordPress recently released version 2.9.1. I have tried a couple of times to upgrade using the automated upgrade option within the blog. Each time, it would throw messages about not having required permissions to perform the upgrade. It appears that the automated upgrade will not work on my hosting provider.
So, I took the time to download the update and performed the install manually tonight. It took a little while to make sure I got everything copied up to the site and not overwrite something important. It appears that the upgrade went well.
I realized that I have not posted an updated photo of Aaron lately. He is growing like a weed. Since I last posted about him, he is getting around all over the place and trying to talk. They grow up way too fast. You can click on the photo to see a larger version.
There are just a few days left to get in on the contest to win a Drobo at Managing Your Digital Life.
I setup my blog tonight to use Technorati’s services. Maybe it will bring some traffic to the site.
I was looking around for video tutorials for AJAX and Javascript and I came across Stian Solberg’s blog. The videos include one about debugging AJAX with Firebug and an introduction to jQuery.
