WordPress update
I finally got around to updating WordPress to the latest release version. At the moment, the mobile version of the site isn’t up, but I’ll try to get that fixed in a couple hours. If you notice any problems or broken posts/links, please let me know by either replying to this post or by sending an e-mail to “comments” at this site’s domain.
Update 1: The RSS feeds don’t seem to work in NewsGator. Not sure what’s up with that just yet.
Update 2: RSS feeds fixed. Here are some details about the fix. Amazing what a single hyphen can do…
Update 3: The mobile version of the site is now back, though it’s not working as well as the previous version. Instead of a single post, it’s displaying the first ten posts, which isn’t exactly mobile-friendly. Thanks to Alex King for his great WordPress Mobile Edition plug-in! After some sleep, I’ll take a look at the code and see if I can get it back to displaying only a single post per page.
I would also like to note that I love the plug-in architecture in the new WordPress. There’s now very little code modification to do in order to add features to the site.
Update 4: I removed the Mobile Edition plug-in because it’s behaving very oddly. (Strange duplicate navigation links, links that don’t work, etc.) Instead, I’m working on a style sheet for mobile devices. I know that not all mobile devices understand cascading style sheets, but from what I can tell from my server logs, nobody is viewing this site with a mobile phone and AvantGo traffic has almost ceased entirely. (Not surprising given the fact that I often go a month or more between updates.) ![]()
