again?
Hi there! So I guess I’m going to an annual update on this site, since it’s been over a year since I last posted. Going from almost daily updates, then on to weekly, monthly, quarterly, and now this.
I’m here partly to dust the cobwebs off this site, but also to check out what’s new with Wordpress. I was previously running 2.3.1 and going to 2.7 took a little more than the usual brainless steps of going to an upgrade URL and clicking a button.
Why do I need to know what’s new with WP? Without giving away too much info I’ll be tinkering around with it to see if I can make a new custom plugin that we need at my work. Cool Times.
I still have the gallery to set up and recover, but wondering if I want to go that route. I was never too happy with g2’s speed, and its integration with WP left a lot to be desired. Looks like they’re working on g3 which will address the problems I’ve had. Until then, I’m thinking about getting on smugmug or flickr pro. I’d be on one of those now if it weren’t for the fact that 1) I already pay for my own webspace and like having my own files on my own server, 2) I’m also on Apple’s Mobile Me which has a photo service of their own, but it’s slow and shitty, doesn’t work in all browsers, and don’t offer any cool syncing or uploading services that link my iPhone to my iPhoto collection. So I don’t really want to pay for another web-service when I don’t really have to.
