Blog Upgraded to WordPress 2.7
It has been months since i last worked on this blog. And i have ignored the message on wordpress admin to upgrade, today i finally gave in and i like the new WordPress. From the look of it, it looks very polished and well though of. It seems much easier to user and faster (when i enabled use of Gears). There are a bunch of new features on the new release. On of the most exciting for me is the plugin installer and updater, it works awesome and is a very nice and makes for the convenient installing and upgrading. Its a very usefull feature and really does makes thing a lot easier.
I may need to scrap the photo gallery and code something better. I really dont like the way it is right now. Have to be off the keyboard as well and take a number of shots to update my photogallery. Its been a while since i last posted something new in there. Work has been strapped to a chair in my office for i think a year now. Hopefully i can get some updates into that area as well.
I think the new version also removed the lightbox for all images embedded on my post. I do however like the “Media Library” feature. Yet another thing that makes life a lot easier. I can only wish that install plugins on oscommerce could be as easy as how wordpress does it. Oscommerce does not even have the update notification feature even that would help a lot of people. The beauty of open source is that if you dont like how something works you can always grab the code and make it work your way, hopefully i can have enough time this year to work on my own release of Oscommerce. But for now will have to go Line By Line Day by Day and slowly but steady.
