WordPress upgraded
I haven’t blogged in a while–or done anything much tech-related that isn’t connected to fulltime or freelance work–mostly due to that thing called Life. Some things are happening which I might blog about here in the future, but everything is hush-hush for now.
I’ve resurfaced to upgrade the WordPress installations for my three WP-powered sites since WordPress 2.2 is out. The upgrade boasts Widget integration and ATOM support, among others, and most of them, unfortunately, I don’t really use. Hrrm. But speed optimization = ♥! I also noticed a new “Deactivate All Plugins” link for the Plugin Management page, which I will greatly love.
That said, I still have no idea why my blogs–notably Seasonal Plume and sometimes this one–suddenly stop in the middle of a page load. I’ve also had the Write/Edit Post/Page page in the admin panel hang over at the STORM Consulting website. I sometimes wonder if it’s just my (crappy) Internet connection but I know of at least one other instance of it happening to a friend of mine loading my sites.
What the hey, WordPress?

That is happening to me, too and it bugs the beejeezus out of me. My web-admin said the reason is the webserver configuration, but wouldn’t tell me details, though. *grrr*

Really? Rats. That IS rather annoying! Sigh, I wonder how one can find out what’s wrong with this? :/

I’m a bit scared of upgrading to 2.2 at the moment because of the inclusion of widgets and such, which I don’t actually use either (am starting to on a new site but all others…) andhave read posts about it breaking and such. Am glad it’s worked out well for you! I might wait htnil 2.2.1 or something like that before I upgrade. At the moment all the plugins I’m using aren’t all actively maintained so it’s ok for me at the moment.
Perhaps the Wordpress forums (which I find confusing) might be useful?

Hello
I also am in total agreement with you guys, I’m having the same trouble.
