Breaking a sweat over 2.5

I’m a firm believer that upgrading is for the better. And will blindly jump where Wordpress wants me too. I’m sure many individuals has taken the leap and upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.

I did and i could not be happier that i did. But in the same breath I’d just like to talk about the issues I had. Upgrading to Wordpress 2.3.3 was fairly easy… same version so no surprise. But with Wordpress 2.5 there was a snag or two.

Firstly:

The Wordpress Image Uploader Issue has been very troublesome for certain individuals. Mine did not work but a quick fix, all be it somewhat advance one, sorted that out. Others, were not so lucky.

Secondly:

My Theme Downloads seized to work. I have been using the WP-Download Manger and it forms a huge part of my blogs life line to the Wordpress Community. There was no “Upgrade Automatically” nor an Upgrade announcement. The sweat started forming.

Thank the lord Google came to my rescue and it tracked down all of Gamerz updated plugins for WP 2.5. Here you can find a list of Gamerz’s Wordpress Plugin Updates. There are a list of several popular plugins, so please have a look.

Upgrading is still the way to go… even in the face of uncertainty. Best of luck to you all. Please keep a lookout for Wordpress 2.5.1

Amsterdam, totsiens

Amsterdam, totsiens
I loved Amsterdam. I can do nothing but rave about how great it is. I most likely should be complaining about how expensive or how cold the weather was, but all I want to do is revisit this wonderful city with it’s whirling bikes and cobbled alley ways. One thing I really loved about Amsterdam was [...] read more

Torchlight, Diablo 3 killer?

Torchlight, Diablo 3 killer?
I’m making a ridiculous statement right out the gates and oddly so because Diablo 3 has not even been released yet. Why say it’s a killer? That’s because Torchlight is exactly what you’d expect the next Diablo to be like. From the start Torchlight submerges you in a neat new world, instantly throwing you into the [...] read more

Rome, Florence, Rome
Booked in the spur of the moment, we were on our way to a four nights stay in Italy. Two nights in Rome and two nights in Florence separated by a four hour train journey. Italy is an incredibly beautiful part of the world with amazing culture, breathtaking monuments and ridiculous traffic. For the backpacking traveler, [...] read more

A night in Betties Bay
Nils and Christi, my “doctor friends”, invited me along for a night with the old gang for a braai, two nights before I had to leave for Ireland. The next morning we went for a dive to take out crayfish. Sadly I don’t have any photos of myself in the Neoprene cladding. Please invite me again, [...] read more

Version 4
An emotional moment comes as I finally polish up this LONG overdue theme for my site. Many things can attribute to this theme taking well over 6 month to complete. Among those are the love/hate relationship I have with design, the lack of focus and the need to get everything perfect. My site is not perfect. [...] read more

District 9 out of 9
This past week I went to go see District 9 again. The make of any good movie is one that you can watch twice in quick succession only to appreciate it even more. The subtle South African flavor coupled with a unique story, told in an uncanny documentary style fashion made for an enjoyable second [...] read more
