WordPress 2.6 up and running
What a relief! For the past few months I’ve been running WordPress 2.5 on three of the four WordPress blogs my family and I currently use (Learning Signs, Eyes Right and Talking Science) but I’ve held off upgrading my main Speed of Creativity blog because I’ve been burned before with WordPress upgrades. They SHOULD go…

Upgrading multiple WordPress installations
A new version of WordPress is out, and I’ve upgraded the three installations I’m now maintaining this evening: this blog (Moving at the Speed of Creativity,) Learning Signs (our family learning blog) and Eyes Right (a Christian team blog.) Several of the newer features of WordPress DO make the process of upgrading easier, but this…

WordPress configuration details and Mac applications
I’ve added a variety of technical details about the blog software (WordPress) configuration I’m using including plugins to the “about page” of my blog. (Scroll down and look under the section subtitled “Some technical stuff about my blog.”) In addition, I’ve updated my wiki list of Macintosh applications I currently have installed. I added the…

Podcast enclosure mystery: Help!
As you may be aware, my ISP upgraded the mySQL database hosting my main WordPress blog this past week. This led to a slowdown of blog performance, but things seem to have gotten a bit better. It’s been suggested that a complete reinstall of WordPress would likely be a good idea, and I was ready…
