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.

What I dont understand about wordpress is b2, what is it and how does it relate to wordpress, isnt it a separate blogging thingy?

I wouldn’t worry too much about upgrading to the latest version yet unless you experience lots of problems with it. I’ve been using 1.5 for a while and I haven’t noticed any bugs. Since I started using 1.5 I haven’t had any spam which is terrific because that really used to drive me crazy lol.
I need to install some plugins, I haven’t really done much with mine. I still haven’t managed to find a commenter plugger that actually works

My school’s yearbooks take over 6 months to be ready. Sometimes even longer. Anyway, glad to see you have everything back up now. I upgraded to 1.5.1 today. Very easy upgrade. A simple replacement of files and running one file, and it’s done. Rest assured it’s 10 million times less complicated than the conversion from b2 to WordPress. There’s not much of a difference in the interface, but they use green too now! Very funky. I guess if you’re not too big on updates and upgrading, you could wait until the next major update?

The installation process is always the hardest part, but you can enjoy your spankin’ new WordPress after all the initial hassle is complete! :P
For an anti-spam plugin, I highly recommend Owen’s Spam Action (OSA) found on this site: asymptomatic.net/wp-hacks

Everyone says that wordpress is so cool, I deleted it when I installed it at first because it came with my domain and hosting. I thought I liked simple stuff better… hmm maybe I should try wordpress someday!
Thanks for your comment
that was really encouragement!!
