The Wordpress 2.6 content management system

08.11.08

Wordpress 2.6 a href=http://wordpress.org/development/2008/07/wordpress-26-tyner/was released/a a few weeks ago.  Better late than never, but I finally got around to upgrading this site with this latest version of Wordpress.

During the time I have covered Wordpress a href=http://likethatidea.com/tag/wordpress/here/a and at a href=http://cmsreport.com/wordpressCMS Report/a, I have always considered Wordpress more as blogging application and not really a full featured content management system.  However, ever since I installed a href=http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-brecker/Wordpress 2.5/a on one of my sites, I can’t help but think that Wordpress now rocks as a content management system.

If you haven’t looked at Wordpress in the past year or so, I recommend that you do yourself a favor and a href=http://wordpress.org/download/take a look/anoscripta href=http://www.sibresource.ru/#1083;#1072;#1085;#1076;#1096;#1072;#1092;#1090;/a/noscript at what you may be missing out.

Below is a brief video tour of 2.6 prepared by Matt and company.

Like that Idea using cool Wordpress 2.5

04.21.08

We finally got around to upgrading the site to Wordpress 2.5. We’ve been very bad this time around this time by waiting almost three weeks before upgrading our Wordpress 2.3 site to newer and more secure versions. Luckily, we’re in a “holding pattern” for adding a whole lot of content to this blog, because Technorati (a blog indexing service) decided to remove insecure Wordpress sitesкомпютри втора употреба from their index. If you’re a Wordpress user, you really should check and make sure your blog is updated with the latest stable release of Wordpress.

Wordpress 2.5 contains a lot of new features…and mostly on the publisher/author/administrative side of the blog. So far, my most favorite new feature is the almost automatic plug-in upgrades.

Few-click plugin upgrades — if the plugins you use are part of the plugin directory since 2.3 we’ve told you when they have an update available. Now we take that to the next logical step — downloading and installing the upgrade for you. This is dependent a little bit on your host setup, and it may ask you for your FTP password much like OS X or Windows will ask you for a password, but it works well on majority of hosts we were able to test, your mileage may very, plugins in mirror may be larger than they appear.

We’ll talk more about Wordpress 2.5 once I get to know about it more. Expect an article on Wordpress to be posted either here or at CMSReport.com.

Weather Station for the Backyard

I could buy a real weather station for my home. The only problem is that without really knowing what I wanted, I just couldn’t stomach the $400 to $1000 I would need for the weather station. I know, I know.  You’re asking why would I spend that kind of money when you can go to the local hardware store and buy one for less than a $100?  Well, I wanted not just any weather station, but a very nice weather station.  A weather station that not only  could measure temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed, etc…but also accurate, wireless, able to connect to the computer, and has the ability to be “customized” additional features down the road.

In the end, I chose Davis Instruments’ Wireless Vantage Pro2 Weather Station. After a couple years of researching as well as getting used the sticker stock…I finally took the plunge and bought the darn thing. I couldn’t be happier! The weather station lists for $595, but can be found cheaper at Amazon.

Removing the Dust

We sort of went the wrong direction in our previous upgrade last Fall to Wordpress 2.3. So we’ve brought a previous version of Wordpress back online as well as the previous database. We’re missing our posts since Summer 2007…but we think it’s worth it.

Until we start getting some content online…feel free to take a look at one of Bryan’s endeavors…CMS Report.

Stepping Back and Thinking

Yes…we know. It’s been way too long since we posted on this blog. Karen and I are going to take a step back and see which direction we would like to take LakethatIdea.com. Stay tuned…

Democracy and Free Market

06.03.07

Sometimes we forget just how lucky we are to live the life we live today.

A 65-year-old railwayman who fell into a coma following an accident in communist Poland regained consciousness 19 years later to find democracy and a market economy, Polish media reported on Saturday…

…”When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol lines were everywhere,” Grzebski told TVN24, describing his recollections of the communist system’s economic collapse.

“Now I see people on the streets with cell phones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin.”

Heroes via the Internet

A busy time prevented me from watching many of the shows for NBC’s/Sci-Fi’s Heroes series. Thank goodness you can now watch previous shows online: http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/ . And yes Advertisers…we do take note of the limited but well placed ads or you’re name isn’t Orville Redenbacher!
