Upgraded to WordPress 2.0.6, added google Adsense.

New year, new things. Didn’t expect to have a wordpress upgrade so soon, but anyway this release is again “critical” as they claim. I always believe in software patching, so here it is, WordPress 2.0.6.

Also, notice the google adsense on the sidebar and every single post page, is it too big? I’m looking for some bucks just enough to cover my hosting cost every month, so if you find it annoying, you have my apology in advance.

I did not get the chance to wish you all, Happy 2007! All the best this year!

[color=red]Update:[/color] It turned out that there’s a bug with version 2.0.6. Feedburner will not work if your server is running on apache mod_php. Workaround can be found here.

WordPress Plugins: WP-Email, WP-PostViews, WP-PostRatings

I’ve been using these wonderful plugins from Lester Chan a.k.a GaMerZ. You can find his homepage at http://www.lesterchan.net/, a very brilliant guy from Singapore. He maintains a list of wordpress plugins, developed by himself. The list is at http://www.lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php

I’ve personally tested, and currently using WP-Email, WP-PostViews, and WP-PostRatings. Lester has packaged these plugins nicely in zip files, along with detailed instructions, I will not try to re-do something that he has properly done. Go try it yourself, and give your credits to him.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.0.5

Just upgraded to WordPress 2.0.5. Everything seems okay so far, if you find anything funny, please contact me.

It is recommended to upgrade your 2.0.4 to 2.0.5 due to several security fixes. Details can be found here. There’s an Internal Server Error 500 issue reported by minor wordpress users. I did not experience that during this upgrade, but make sure you check it out here.

My theme still works with 2.0.5, yay! Get a copy here! I’m going to have a hard time dealing with other sites. Posts will come back after a while. Take care you all out there.

Akismet, fight your blog spammers!

My Awstats shows that I have average 30 unique visitors per day. That’s quite okay for me as I did not make any hard effort on promoting this blog, I don’t have much time for that because of work. What surprises me is, I do not get any legitimate comment at all, but spam. How did they get here ? I wonder.

Since my favorite topic is about Debian GNU Linux, I understand that the respond might be limited, or none at all. No problem with that, I can live with it. But spam, is beyond my tolerance, especially when I see those words like “viagra”, “gay”, “lesbian”, “porn”, and some sort. What can those people get, by spamming in one of my lowest visit rate post?
