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 !
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 …

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.

从二月初，wordpress.com从国内已经不能访问，原来的担心成真。虽然还可以通过国外的代理出来，但是饱经周折，费力不安全。所以，这段时间，国内的朋友请先访问我在国内的Blog，地址是：http://www.i170.com/user/zhaol 我还会继续更新此blog，寄希望WP能尽快被解封。
今天是2月17日，查看了一下BlogStat中的Posts排行，现在国内访问不到，每天的访问少的可怜，令人气愤、恼火的封堵！
抛开那些烦人的感觉，体会到创新才是Blog生命，思想就是你最大的Referer.
Top Posts for 30 days ending 2006-02-16 (Summarized)
At these two weeks, I found I could not access my blog at wordpress.com from the network at China, neither from the access of CNC and CMCC. If I configure my browser to use anonymous proxies at abroad, then it’s ok. So I am afraid wordpress.com is blocked at China. Do you encountered the same problem? it’s surprisingly disgusting, especially While blogspot.com has been opened. Why? who can give me an explanation? any friends from china telecom operators?
Today I noticed that the “Import” link appears again after a few days missing. At this moment, it enables two kind of “import”, from typepad/Moveable Type, and Blogger. So if you missed the chance to import your other blogs, don’t miss this time. Maybe it will disappear some time. 
See the belowing diagram.
这些天因为兴趣的原因，到若干个免费Blog站点贡献不少时间，帮助进行了“免费测试”。
CNblog打开后不知所云，所以一开始就放弃了。
Blogchina提 供的功能倒是不少，带有置顶、展开|收缩等实用功能，但是系统极不稳定，经常出现fatal error，网速很慢，所以失望之余，也想向各位分享此经历。还有不少报到方兴东同学刚刚融到VC资金，博客中国成功变身云云，blogchina变为 bokee好像好多好多的博客们不太高兴。
I170刚刚开始试用，是因为看到大潘的blog。其风格也类似Google般的简约，很爽的感觉，网络访问速度不错。但是功能上还嫌简单了些，访问统计能力也不够强。还要看后面的体验了。
WordPress的 风格简约，网速还可以，管理员响应速度很快，感觉不错。基于invite邀请的模式能够保证其不会迅速变“烂”，管理员也表示了管理网站的决心和行动。问 题是最近几天网站连续出现访问慢，甚至系统失去响应的情况。并且，有些政治敏感因素将有被封锁的风险，影响国内访问。
