I upgraded to WordPress 2.6 overnight.   All my little customisations seem to have survived, but if anybody spots anything acting strange let me know: I haven’t been totally exhaustive in my testing.

Glitches

June 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Technology

Something really strange happened here yesterday.  I was halfway through posting about our afternoon of throwing £72,000 cars around Surrey, and WordPress just stopped working properly.  Somehow I became logged out, and then I couldn’t log back in again.

Feeling good

June 4th, 2008 · Comments Off on Feeling good · Music, Technology

Tonight I backed up the whole site, upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, upgraded a few plugins, had a little tinker and (nearly) everything still works OK. I feel good so I’m testing it out by inserting a bit of Dr. Feelgood. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video […]

Unforseen consequences

I thought it was a good idea to invite the Northern sister to contribute here, but there was a little thing I overlooked…

Introspection

December 20th, 2007 · Comments Off on Introspection · Technology

One last (for now) bit of navel gazing about the new look and feel of this site and then its back to waffling about football, Dr. Who, music and the manifold shortcomings of the Tories. For a start, while I was not looking, the hit counter ticked past the momentous but arbitrary 100,000 hits mark.  […]

Another new plugin

December 20th, 2007 · Comments Off on Another new plugin · Technology

This is supposed to make it easier to include YouTube clips, like this: You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video And it looks like it works OK.  In the past I have had real headaches with embedded video clips, having to temporarily disable the visual editor and then paste the […]

That was quick. I think it’s fixed already! I have actually impressed myself there.

I have had a compliment or two about the new design e-mailed to me. They had to be e-mailed because apparently the comment facility doesn’t work. Oops. Sorry about that.

Behind the scenes

December 17th, 2007 · Comments Off on Behind the scenes · Technology

The comprehensive lack of apparent activity here for four days is not because my technical problems are persisting: it’s because they have gone away.  “Gone away” does not mean “fixed” though it just means ‘gone away’ as in ‘popped out to the shops but might be back soon’.

Redecorating…

December 9th, 2007 · Comments Off on Redecorating… · Technology

For some reason WordPress was stuffing the CPU on the server. Again. So… I have upgraded to the latest release of WordPress, upgraded all the plugins (but disabled them for now, except for Akismet), and reverted to the default template. I’ll see how this goes and then start re-introducing plugins.
