Would you believe? Another Update before I even get the last one fixed! –>WordPress 2.5.1! and I made some changes to my editing/writing panel. will they work in the new update? Can I find them again?
I didn’t post about them right away. Okay, found it. Here’s the –>WordPress 2.5 hack to fix the write panel. special thanks to Judy at PersistantIllusion.com, she surely ‘knitted together’ a great hack for the administration.
I’m using a new browser that is lots easier to use: Camino. Only for Macs though.
Also if you are having problems with the Add Media and Media Manager, check out this post on the –>forum by Otto42, I used the no-flash-uploader plugin listed at the bottom. I loved it so much, I checked out –>his blog, and invited him to connect on LinkedIn.
The newest upgrade is not available on my host’s Fantastico yet, though I know Moderators and Developers always say to do a ‘Manual’ upgrade/update. I’m too cowardly to try it. And, considering how fast this new upgrade came up and how many complaints on the –>Wordpress forum, I think I’ll wait awhile. And I’m not updating/upgrading my other –>WordPress blog yet, it’s already messed up for no reason that I could see. Maybe Firefox messed with it.

Here we go. I’ve been putting this off. Another upgrade and all the problems that go with it. I’ll be working this today and will update this post to let you know how it goes. Hope my Anubis Neopet Theme still works.
UPDATE: 7 hours later and I’m still not done. Well. Do Not Use Firefox to Upgrade!
Don’t UPGRADE!
Don’t UPGRADE to WordPress 2.5! Warning! Wait! Wait! Another Update is already online!
Media Loss! Doesn’t work! BAD! BAD! Bad!
I’m so screwed!
the only way to get Media to add is to handcode it as the “Add Media” button doesn’t work. A popup lightbox starts to load then goes to a page where images are listed with ‘Show’ links that do not work. Haven’t tried the upload method, but I am not inspired.
Here’s a little animated banner I made for Tales of King Tut:
Here’s the same image with the popup lightbox added? And of course it won’t work since the media editor is all messed up.
There are complaints all over the WordPress Forum. See for yourself another blog rant. There is a small inkling that these problems might be fixed in a ‘new upgrade’. Shudder!
Trying to add –>Syndicate Links in the Sidebar. My theme does not use sidebar widgets. Everything has to be handcoded. but I like my theme. So does Tut and Paaten.
Easier look for the –>Add Me links at the bottom of posts, but cannot figure out how to add or delete icons and sites, yet.
More adds include the –>RSS Footer to keep from getting ‘Scraped’. UserOnline is interesting.
Will add more links later.
So what do you think about my new widgets and whatchits? “UserOnline”, ‘OthersOnline’, ‘Spread the word’ and ‘Syndicate’?
Oh, please let me know what you think!
