It’s a great to find that WP2.5 is available at this morning.
This new version has a much pretty admin interface then ever before. In addition, it’s post editor is enhanced also.
I got some trouble when I installed and activated the plugin “maintenance-mode” before I started to upgrade my wordpress. After finishing the upgrade, I could not open the “UPGRADE” link page. It’s always sending the page “Maintenance Mode”. It’s so bad. I set the maintenance time windows at 30 minutes. However, even after one hour, the maintenance page was always there. Finally, I deleted the plugin. It’s recovered.
It’s a little story during the upgrade. I like the new version.
After months of maintenance of two blogs of Chinese and english, I decided to merge them into one bilingual blog, where I use category “Chinese” and “English” to indicate the language of that post. Because WordPress 2.3 has built-in support of TAG, so I will use “TAG” to quickly identify the post content.
I like the default theme along with the installation of WordPress. However, I like to have my blog a different appearance and feeling. Say, how about this theme – “Sleep Blue” by eyoung? Do you like the new one? Thanks to eyoung.
WordPress 2.3发布后，相信很多博客都争先恐后地升级到了最新的版本。其中除了其它众多的更新和漏洞修复外，2.3中对Tag的支持也是大家期待和喜欢的原因。虽然以前有Ultimate Tag Warrior这样的插件也可以实现Tag功能，但是安装和配置都很麻烦，很多人就放弃了。现在好了，有了2.3，Tag支持在安装一开始就有了。
升级到2.3后，在编辑界面上，主编辑框的下面，就出现了一个Tag的输入窗口。然后到模板显示配置部分，可以看到有个widget叫Tag，将它拖到sidebar上。这样，Tag Cloud就在主页出现了。
可是，这样升级后，我发现在主页面上，Tag却没有出现在每篇日志上。这到底是怎么回事呢？ 这篇文章详细解答了这个问题。
原来，需要自己到当前的模板上，在wordpress的主循环main loop中添加：
<?php the_tags(‘before’, ’separator’, ‘after’); ?>
这里， ‘before’是指在tags之前需要显示的东西，例如”Tags:”. ‘after’是指在tags后面要显示的，例如什么也不显示，或者一个回车’<br>’. 中间的’separator’就是分隔符了，逗号，竖线都可以。
我修改了index.php, 和single.php后，tags就在主页面和单日志网页显示出来了。Thanks to Rich !
Even in its Beta stage, I think, AirPress must have its potential to be a platform to blog. It can support WordPress and other blog softwares.
Nowadays, most of bloggers need to access a web interface to write blog posts and “publish” them. They need to backup their database and software periodically in order not to lose their years of effort. It’s not a very easy job. In addition, you can not blog when you are offline.
Two years ago, a China-based blog community – i170.com, developed an offline blog software which was tightly integrated with their online blog+community. It’s very attractive to their users, like me, which could be used not only to blog and archieve, but also to manage RSS feeds. So i170 guys call it a knowledge management platform. From some time last year, i170 changed their free policy for their blogging tool. I don’t know what’s the current functionality just now. Read more…
Yesterday, WordPress development team released its newest version 2.3, with a lot of exciting features, such as native tagging support, plugin update notification, URL handling improvements, and etc. The tag cloud is very interesting from its preview versions. This release is named for the great tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon.
Native tagging support allows you to use tags in addition to categories on your post, if you so choose. We’ve included importers for the Ultimate Tag Warrior, Jerome’s Keywords, Simple Tags, and Bunny’s Technorati Tag plugins so if you’ve already been using a tagging plugin you can bring your data into the new system. The tagging system is also wicked-fast, so your host won’t mind.
It must lead to a wave of downloading and upgrading of worldwide bloggers. There have been a ton of posts on howto of upgrade and compability of plugins. Click here to download.
Today I tried to upgrade my wordpress blog from 2.1.3 to 2.2.2 with Fantastico. The upgrade operation is very clear and straightforward, just click links following the instructions. After seconds, the upgrade was almost finished. A big surprise to me was to find that Chinese characters were displayed into a mess, “数???….”. What’s up?
Before this upgrade, I backuped my data via the “export” function of wordpress. At this moment, I found I could not upload to import it due to the 2Mb limitation of wordpress. Stupid! Secondly, I found the Chinese characters could not be displayed even in the posts I just typed in. What’s the problem?
I began to dig in the Internet. This link did help me. I followed the post and comment out the two lines in my wp-config.php (or just remove them):
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
then I save the file. The web pages get restored! Chinese characters can be displayed normally. It’s great!
Wordpress.org just released its newest version 2.2 with a bunch of important bug fixes and interesting features, including:
- WordPress Widgets allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity. This functionality was originally available as a plugin Widgets are now included by default in the core code, significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
- Full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
- A new Blogger importer that is able to handle the latest version of Google’s Blogger product and seamlessly import posts and comments without any user interaction beyond entering your login.
- Infinite comment stream, meaning that on your Edit Comments page when you delete or spam a comment using the AJAX links under each comment it will bring in another comment in the background so you always have 20 items on the page. (I know it sounds geeky, but try it!)
- We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog.
- Core plugin and filter speed optimizations should make everything feel a bit more snappy and lighter on your server.
- We’ve added a hook for WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.
The most interesting to me is the Widgets bundled into the core. So it doesn’t bother you any more to manual install this essential plugin. Check the office release notes …

“sbin” is a special directory name in Unix and Linux world. Typically, it’s located at “sbin” and “usrsbin“. It means binary files for super users, e.g, fsck, mount and etc. , compared against binary files for average users at “bin” and “usrbin“. So “sbin” means the power and tools to control the system. That’s the major goal for most of hackers to execute the programs in it.
I wish every body can find their own “sbin” toolkit in such a fast growing time, avoiding distraction and rocking and lost in web2.0 ocean.
The largest free blog hosting service provider – wordpress.com rolled out a new service – CSS customization, to give the bloggers a way to customize the stylesheet, according to their own flavor. This service is not free, instead you have to pay 15 credits for it. You can buy a credit point for 1$ through PayPal. For more…
This is the first service not free by wordpress.com. It’s a common sense to regard it as the signal of first step to profit. Considering its huge subscriber base (287 thousands for now), WP is expected to be the superstar at the venture capital market.

When we had dinner for CCClub Beijing gathering yesterday evevning, I suggest Billy adding RSS feed to the web site. Billy told me his thinking that RSS might steal away much pageview of the website and thus lower the readers’ stickiness. I don’t think so.
When you prepare to roll out your RSS feed, you must be thinking those feed readers might won’t click to the “original page”, so that your page view will be eroding. It seems to be a reasonable thinking. But my first question is why you run your web site? second question is why so many web sites are hurrying to advertise their RSS feed?
If some of your RSS items always won’t bring your subscribers to further clicking, there might be two reasons: your content is just not absorbing enough, and the content is just enough at that moment. For the first case, of course it’s not the fault of readers. You need to better your content or they are not your reader objectives, ie. wrong subscription without hurt to both parties. For the second case, you have succeed in getting to your goal : to broadcast your message, why not further waste your bandwidth and adding server load. You lose nothing but those sterile pageviews.
Rather, RSS might bring something good that you overlook. RSS feed by far ease the accessibility and readibility. As a result, your message will reach more desktops than just staying at your web site.
Buddy, just go RSS. It won’t steal your page view and erode your reader stickiness at all. It will do good.

<浙江绍兴鲁迅故里>
鲁迅手里的那只烟感觉上总是和毛泽东照片里的很像。鲁迅的家是个很大很大的院子，单单是看百草园，就让人很是吃了一惊，很多人都会情不自禁的想：我要是有那么大的、那么漂亮的园子，我也会写出那么多作品。:)
春节在杭州过的，有机会到杭州周围的名胜古迹游览一番，像西湖周围的南高峰、北高峰、雷锋塔，还有附近的乌镇、绍兴的鲁迅故居、东湖等，江南水乡的精致、文化的沉淀厚重、还有那怎么也听不懂的江南方言给我留下非常深刻的印象。
知道三乌文化吗？感兴趣的请参见详细介绍百度知道中的答案。简单说，就是指：乌篷船、梅干菜、黑毡帽。其实对我印象最深的是船工使用脚来划船，船工轻松自得的动作还透着一种对家乡的自豪。中间有个小插曲，船工的乌毡帽听好看的，轮到我们上船时却发现船工没有带，心里稍微有些失望。我觉得不能让老婆孩子失望，就故意和船工搭话：您的毡帽很漂亮呀！ 没想到船工非常体贴游客，立刻用绍兴家乡话说：好，那我就带上吧。让我心里很是高兴了一阵子。
