Upgrade to Wordpress 2.5

May 17, 2008

I know that I am a bit behind the times, but I just upgraded to WordPress 2.5 with Fantastico. It seems like Fantastico always lags behind with the WordPress upgrades. I just noticed the upgrade to 2.5 option today, and after installation I see that WordPress 2.5.1 is already out but not available yet on [...]

Cyberduck 3.0 Errors

But I just upgraded to version 3.0 and was getting errors when I uploaded content to my site – specifically wordpress themes. I noticed a few threads here and there on the internet with others who are having [...]

Full or Partial Feeds? Let Your Readers Choose.

November 12, 2007

I hate partial feeds.
It is just too time consuming to click through to the actual site for every article that sounds interesting.
In fact, I am more likely to click through if the full feed is offered – because I often feel compelled to leave a comment once I have read the whole post.

September 13, 2007

I always wondered how people got all of those individual little social bookmarking icons at the end of each post. You can’t make it much easier than that for people to submit a post that they enjoy reading. This could translate to additional traffic.
I finally discovered the Sociable plugin. (Thanks to Courtney Tuttle’s very fine [...]

301 Redirect

September 6, 2007

I should have known that modifying the .htaccess file was beyond the scope of my computing knowledge. Thankfully, I created a copy of the original file in my text editor before I made any changes. Because, I modified the .htaccess file and I broke my blog.

Import from New Blogger to Wordpress 2.2.2 – More Info.

September 2, 2007

I now have confirmation that it wasn’t “just me”. According to this thread at the WordPress.org support forums Google has recently changed their API, so the wp-admin/import/blogger.php file must be modified in order for the import to work (thank you andy!). As I have already succeeded in importing my blogger blog to WordPress (self [...]

I received an email from Wordpress.com support that the importer was now working. With trepidation I went to manage, import, blogger. I clicked authorize and voila!

The import is not working.
I tried everything. First, the obvious. I went to Manage, Import, Blogger. This took me to a screen asking me to authorize. Clicked and was taken to a screen stating “This website has not registered with Google to establish a secure connection for authorization requests.”  – Here there is a button [...]
