Managing WordPress Upgrades (the Easy Way)

So I saw that nifty little notice in my administrative panel tonight at my in-laws house that says, “A new version of WordPress has been released. Update now” (or something along those lines). Generally a Major.Minor.Subminor update (2.5.0 -> 2.5.1 for example) means minor bugs & quirks were fixed, but more importantly, some security flaws were found and fixed. These updates are usually pretty darn important to be safe, but upgrading can be such a pain and so the minor updates often get put off until a new major version comes out.
Why is it always a pain you ask? Read the rest of this entry »

I wanted to be able to display my most recent photos and videos in WordPress 2.5 for my new theme. I found that photos were easily taken care of by several plugins (I went with tan tan noodles Flickr plugin).
Videos, I’m afraid, were not so easy. Read the rest of this entry »
XHTML 1.0 Transitional Compliant

Not too bad. I ran my new theme from last night through the W3C Validator quickly this afternoon and there were only 28 errors initially. I forgot a few required attribute elements to some of my tags and had an extra unused unordered list tag set. Other than that I merely had to use some htmlentities tags around my titles and alt attributes and my 28 errors are now down to zero.
Woot for being XHTML 1.0 Transitional with a WordPress site!
