Word Press Upgrade to 2.6.5

I made a pretty significant upgrade of my Word Press version from 2.2 to 2.6.5!  It was a bit nerve wracking, there is always the chance something could go wrong and I’d end up spending days/weeks to fix it but fortunately everything went pretty smooth.  I’ve tested most things out and am happy to report that everything is 95% ok.  The 5% that needs to be addressed is the problem with by right hand navigation on the interior pages like Foodography.  There is currently an error there that was not there before so I am not sure what happened.  I will have to fix that sometime.

The good news is that 2.6.5 has some nice upgrads on the Admin side with a much improved and needed WYSIWYG editor.  Also now, I can even blog from my iPhone, ah more things to do with my favorite tech gadget of all time.  I will have to try that soon!

Here’s a few house cleaning tasks I have to do:

  • Fix the right hand nav – or – remove the error and change the page
  • For some reason the page design looks different in IE, Chrome vs. Firefox.  There is a small jagged offset in the top left and right corners under the top nav which needs some image modification I believe
  • The timezone seems off.  I think It is in central time
  • Need a little more jazziness on these posts, video maybe?
  • Figure out a better side bar presentation.  Right now the right side is not all that attractive.
  • Clean up the categories, I have some dupes
  • Learn how to blog from my iPhone!!
