After hours of testing on an offline version of my blog, I have finally decided to upgrade to Wordpress 2.5. As I expected, there were no compatibility issues encountered with the theme just like on the test blog.

More than 90% of the plugins worked perfectly after the upgrade and only the AdSense Manager and Live plugins have issues with this new version of Wordpress. Hopefully, an update will fix these issues.

So far, I’m pretty impressed with this new version. Overall, I like the fresh new look and feel of the Dashboard. Colors are cool to the eyes and navigation is much better compared to the previous version. I’m also happy with the one click plugin feature, it just makes maintaining your plugins up-to-date easier and almost hassle free.

If you haven’t notice yet, my blog is now sporting a new look since last week. After a couple of days of customizing the CSS and PHP scripts, I finally decided to launch the new theme. My blog is now back with the blue and white look which is quite similar to the theme I use last year. Unfortunately, I had to change that theme last 3 (or 4?) months ago because of some incompatibility issues after upgrading to Wordpress 2.3.

Finally! After a few days of work, I managed to finish (well sort of) re-designing / customizing this new theme . This is one of the reason why I’m not updating my blog recently. To tell you honestly, I was planning on using a new theme by the start of this year. I already started last December but wasn’t able to finish it on time because I was pre-occupied during the holiday season.

I’m back with the blue and white theme which is what I mostly used. This theme is based from the 3 K2 Redux klein theme by Headsetoptions. It is a modified K2 theme which I then modified for my own preference. By the way, I would like to thank him for helping me out with my inquiries on customizing the theme.

Just some site updates. The photo gallery is now up and running again. For an unknown reason it got whacked after migration. I finally able to fix the slideshow on my sidebar which is directly link to the photo gallery. Cool huh?

WordPress 2.0.3 has been released and available for download, and it is mainly a bug fix/security release, some back-ported from 2.1. Just updated this blog and it seems to be okay.

For the curious, this release includes:

• Small performance enhancements
• Movable Type / Typepad importer fix
• Enclosure (podcasting) fix
• The aforementioned security enhancements (nonces)

Upgrading is fairly simple, just overwrite your old files with the latest from the download. When you go to your admin it will give you a link to update your database.

I’ll be updating my site today. There will be a slight downtime since a lot of changes will be made. Changes include Wordpress core update, theme update and plugin updates.

Status update:

Wordpress core files has been updated to version 2.02. Most of the plugins have been installed and configured. Currently making changes in the theme to make it a little unique. The update took some time since I lost my DSL connection (and phone service) for a couple of hours. I also took a nap for a few hours to make up for the lack of sleep yesterday.
