Wordpress 2.6 Upgrade Release (Video)

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Wordpress 2.6 is out! I use Wordpress 2.5 for this blog. I think it’s about time I upgrade to 2.6. There’re some new cool features. Watch the video to see what they are.

Do you use Wordpress for your blog too? You may be interested to know about The Three-Step Upgrade for Wordpress.org. You can also download the latest version by clicking here.

The interesting about my upgrade from Wordpress 2.5.1 to 2.6 is I only went through one step! Really! Here’s how I did it with Dreamhost Web Panel.

1. I logged into my Dreamhost Web Panel.
2. In that very same page. I go to my “Goodies: One-Click Installs”.

3. I clicked on the “Upgrade or remove previously installed software.”

4. I clicked on the blog’s “Upgrade to 2.6″. Voila!

Hmmm… Now you may say,” It’s more than one step!” Well, to me, it really felt like one-step. The Three-Steps Upgrade seems much more tedious. For my, using Dreamhost, I only did it in the same webpage. I didn’t even have to touch my FTP! I love Dreamhost!

Update On My 2 Other Blogs

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Okay, I realized I have been posting some short entries these week. Today is Friday, and I stayed home the whole day to touch up the content of my 2 other blogs. Quiet Time, and My Kind of Music.

This is what I did to them today.

  • I added Feedburner RSS subscription option to them, including email subscription. This requires me to activate a plugin called FeedBurner FeedSmith in my WordPress.
  • I also added a plugin for Contact Form for each other them. I think a contact me page in a blog is really important. The plugin Dagon Design Form Mailer does the job well.
  • I activated the Akismet to moderate future comments.
  • I activated the plugin PodPress which is comes with my WordPress 2.5.1 in my blogs.
  • My First Domain

    Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

    Today marks the day when I first own a domain!

    I’m still trying to figure out how to use it, so I’m not gonna say the domain name here, for now.

    =============================

    This is how I start my first domain:

    I bought this domain from godaddy.com at USD 6.95, with the help of dealtaker.com.

    Then, I sign up at Dreamhost with a promo code (more…)
