Apparently, the 2.5.1 version is causing problems for some with posting. I have experienced problems with uploading images at my free WordPress.com blog.

Look forward to reading Jaffer’s WordPress upgrade post.

“Version 2.5.1 of Wordpress is now available. It includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix.”

But whether or not it has ALL of the bugs fixed remains to be seen. You just have to keep your ears to the ground and see what the public’s opinion says.

Jaffer tells me that he is working on a post on the best way to upgrade Wordpress. It should be here to read shortly.

Do you use Jaffer’s method of installing WordPress files?

I’ve upgraded my way several times and it’s been fool proof.
But I decided to follow official instructions the other day hoping things may have change but no ! Nothing’s changed !

I’m convinced I’ll not change my approach to upgrade wordpress even if it takes a few too many mouse clicks !

I fixed it by replacing the files in the root-folder as well. In short, replace all Wordpress related files and folders in the root directory, except the wp-content folder and the wp-config.php file and you’re done !

Ain’t that the truth!

Speaking of WordPress 2.5 and after using WP 2.5 for my free WordPress.com Blog, WordPress 2.3 seems easier to use and navigate to me.

One of the most annoying features in WP 2.5 is centering a image embedded in a Href address. For reasons unknown, WP 2.5 centers the image code and places the Href address outside the paragraph center code.

I not sure why Software programmers can’t seem to learn the “if it is not broke, don’t fix it” approach to life!

Canons are good but I got a Panasonic PV-SG85 which has all of the features that I’m looking for and the price was right. The Canon might have a better lens though.

Purchasing 2 new computers (with firewire) is my next project.

I have been looking into a Canon ZR series, which got some good reviews from CNET http://www.cnet.com/Canon_ZR_series/4660-10602_1-5620091.html
They too are between the $260 and $280 range.

For now any purchase decisions have to be put on hold as I’ve got to save up for a new ‘puter !

Did you upgrade to WP 2.5.1 ? There’s actually a bug in the new version that is being discussed on http://wordpress.org/support/topic/171830?replies=6#post-743762

It seems that Google is going for the quick cash-grab and couldn’t care less about quality of the product.

In my travels I soon discovered that DVD versions are too hard to edit and hard drive recorders are just way too expensive. I settled on a Mini DV (tape) camcorder with optical zoom and optical anti-shake, USB and Firewire connectors, an SD card slot and a shoe for an optional microphone or light.

My mini DV cost me $250 and to get the equivalent options a hard drive would have cost me close to a $$$ thousand. So my decision was a no-brainer after I got all the info.

Yea, You Tube is becoming like a land-fill of household and commercial garbage, industrial waste along with used condoms and needles.

I’ve found Viddler and attractive option for bloggers as they can post text comments in the video.

Seesmic too is becoming hot now that there is a plugin for wordpress that allows commentators leave a video comment.
