Like that Idea just upgraded to Wordpress 2.8. If you’re curious of what new features this version of Wordpress brings, check the video out.
Yes, this is another Wordpress post. We’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.7. Check out the new features in this video.
Some more information can be found at CMS Report.
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 sites 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.
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.
As you know, we are big fans of the blogging application, Wordpress. Like that Idea is now running on Wordpress 2.0.6. Not only some security and bug fixes are included in this release but also some minor new features.New to this version of Wordpress:
- Security fixes.
- HTML quicktags now work in Safari browsers.
- Comments are filtered to prevent them from messing up your blog layout.
- Compatibility with PHP/FastCGI setups.
You can find more information about Wordpress at Wordpress.org, of course! Also, you can check out Bryan’s own CMS Report for more content and links to articles on Wordpress.
I thought for sure we would get a strong showing of visitors here at Like that Idea when we posted in our blog Positive Proof Spammers are Evil. While our numbers jumped up a bit, the number of visitors still remained rather low.
In a day or two I plan to cross-post the same article at another one of my sites, CMS Report. I’ll be curious to see if the numbers of visitors will be different or not. If there are significant differences in the number of visitors between the two sites for the same post, we’ll have to take a deeper look to answering the question for why there is a difference.
My bet is there will be some significant differences in the number of visitors CMS Report receives for the same article that was posted here a week earlier. Until it happens, I’ll keep it quiet why I expect those differences.? Stay tuned!
We use Akismet to filter out the spam that’s posted in the form of comments here at likethatidea.com. The photo below was taken by me a few months ago and I assure you that no altering of the photo was done. I’ll let you be the judge whether the spam comments are really evil or not.
Besides using Akismet for our Wordpress sites, we also use it for our Drupal sites. Akismet seems to work well for both content management systems.? Click here if you digg it!
