Updates - WordPressversion 2.2.2

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Today i’ve commited a couple of updates to my blog. I began with installing some plugins, but then went on to the whole WP engine update from 2.1.3 to 2.2.2 - mainly because of built-in widgets and some security issues. So i had to edit the code again after updating the engine, but i thinks it’s definitely worth of it.
So, the updates:

  • version 2.2.2 - built-in widgets and security updates. Also noticed some performance boost, looks like they’ve kept their promise!
  • Dan’s Avatar Thingy plugin - enables avatar support for registered users, aka me 8-O
  • Polyglot plugin - posts in different languages. This is the first one, but i’m going to translate the others, especially big ones first. The interface of the blog is still in english, but i’m looking at adding the feature of interface’s language chosing for readers.
  • Doc/Man/HOWTO centralized archive

    After writing only few posts and having info for few ones more, an idea has born in my head to setup a CMS or Wiki to store “locally” all manuals/howto’s/other docs, which are at least mentioned in my posts, so that readers could access it right here. (more…)

    Sear4ing the TRUTH…

    I didn’t think it will be so difficult for me. I’ts really awfull!!!

    I reviewed almost all themes on themes.wordpress.net, and tested about 100+ of them - and i didn’t found any that had all that i wanted. So, for now this blog will live with this default ( rather pretty, but not unique :( ) theme. Maybe i’ll review the ones i i downloaded and change my mind, but i don’t think so.

    The good thing is that i finally decided how i want my theme to look like, which visual features it must have, how the layout will be organized and which fonts i’ll use. I think that the first beta of my theme will come out in about a month.

    Finally!

    Finally, i’ve got it! yep, this is my blog, and this is the first post in it… it was rather difficult for me to choose a theme, i didn’t find what i _REALLY_ wanted, but someting like that… I need to work on an image, which is in the header, but really have no time - spent about an hour above planned. So for now i left the default theme, it displays all info i want and in the way i like :)

    And, yes, i decided to blog in english. Maybe to attract as many readers as i can and not to lose them due to russian; maybe just to practice my english, which skills i lost during last few years. Anyways - for now i’ll write in English and _only_ English, but i promice to do my best to make russian translations of at least the most interesting articles as soon as possible!
