I’m meeting Jess, Ben, Sharon and Huaian to go back to my secondary school to take my O level certificates today in the evening since it’s pass midnight already. It’s kind of late but everyone else have school and stuff so we going at a pretty late time. The year book is still not ready o.O !!! I wonder what took them so long. I admit I’m anxious, but who wouldn’t?
So, I think I’m getting to love WordPress more now. :heart: I converted my thoughts and opinions into WordPress pages so that it’s easier for me to update. I’m keeping the rest as static pages. After messing around with the codes for a while, I got the “comments off” to disappear when comments are either closed or not allowed. There are no spams so far and I hope it will stay this way. So, I was thinking of writing a graphic tutorial and installing Dodo’s threaded comments hack some time this week, but the instructions seem so complicated, I can’t imagine what would happen with I mess things up. It was so sad to browse through my archive just now. :cry: It was so empty and cold. Stupid importing failed.
Just my luck, I just installed WordPress 1.5 strayhorn and now there is 1.5.1 with bug fixes etc. Has any one tried upgrading to the latest version? So far, I have no problems or bugs with version 1.5 so I’m still thinking whether to upgrade it or not. Is the upgrade essential with security issues fixed or something critical and important like that? Some of the plugins I’m using are not compatible with the latest version too, so it might not work.
On the later part of the day…
I updated my wordpress to version 1.5.1, it was a breeze. Like Jen said, it was simple, much easier then importing from b2. But, I couldn’t really spot the difference, there were only a few obvious changes. The active themes and plugins are now highlighted in green. A minor change was made to the quicktags on the admin page and when you have a “enable send referrers” error, there is a link to the Codex. My spell checker is the only plugin which is not working for the latest version. I’m looking for a fix for that, I needed that plugin badly. One of my friends comment was listed as a spam (although it was not) and deleted by the Spam Karma, I didn’t even get the chance to moderate it. So, I’m trying out the OSA recommended by Brenda now to see if it works well. Other than that, I think other positive comments go through pretty well.

Glad to see that you’re getting along with WordPress. I managed to upgrade to version 1.5.1 earlier too rather smoothly (last time I tried to upgrade from version 1.2 to 1.5, it was a disaster). You can tell from the fact that the new WordPress isn’t version 1.6 that the changes are really just a lot of bug fixes and small things like that, but I’m still glad I upgraded. Better safe than sorry, right?

I always wondered why, on the b2 website it links to WordPress. I never understood the link between the two! :fish:

You received a letter? My friend and I didn’t receive any from MOE. We were told by a friend who was told by the school teacher. We didn’t have to go MOE and take, the certificates were sent to our schools instead. :P The changes for version 1.5.1 are mostly bug fixes and critical updates maybe?

The MOE has sent me a letter regarding the collection of o lvl cert, but I have been too lazy to collect it. I have to go all the way to the MOE just to take a cert, why can’t they send it to me instead? -_-”
mm.. I am still wondering whether I should upgrade to 1.5.1, if there are no major changes, maybe I will stick to 1.5 until the next version comes.
Hope you get your yearbook soon!

Yes. WordPress and b2 are separate blogging tools. WordPress is the official successor of b2.

Yay for WordPress. I am starting to like it as well
(though my site isn’t way that XHTML verified as yours *g*).
See you!
