Changes I’ve made and hacks I’ve added to make my WordPress installation do what I want it to.

Moving Blog Homes

Given the cur­rent state of OpenSol­aris (pre­cari­ous, judging by vari­ous posts I’ve seen over the last few months) I decided to move the base­ment devel­op­ment and blog host­ing machine back to Debian. I mostly use it for a couple of small Word­Press blogs, and try­ing out vari­ous things (the odd Django pro­ject, Ruby on Rails, […]

Blank Pages After WP Upgrades

I was upgrad­ing the Word­Press site for someone and had a few moments of panic when, after upgrad­ing, all I could see were blank pages. Vis­ions of hav­ing to go through the pain of rein­stalling the data­base from the backup, and upload­ing all the files from the backup, were dan­cing through my head, which would […]

lynx and mod_security

Feed Oddities

Hope­fully it won’t take too long. Update: it turns out to have been the Bird­Feeder plu­gin, com­poun­ded with a stub­born cache. Guess I […]

Another WP Update

Hav­ing just updated my blog to the latest in the 2.6 series, it was time to go for the 2.7 series. Nor­mally I wait a couple of days for other people to flush out the bugs, but I figured I’d be big and brave on this one, given it’s Fri­day after­noon. As usual with WordPress, […]

WordPress and Atom

On my craft­ing blog I use the Tarski theme, and that used to give you the choice between Atom and RSS for the feeds. Then they took it out, say­ing that Word­Press itself gives you the choice. Well, maybe it does (or maybe it did), but nowhere in the options for 2.6.1 that I could […]
