As you may have gathered from my previous post and the fact that I haven’t fixed my sidebar, I’ve had enough of Wordpress. Instead, I’ve decided to move to another blogging program, called Habari. It’s clean and easy to use and it gave me an excuse to redesign my blog into a minimalist design that I really, really like.
So, this blog has now moved to http://www.jdharper.com/blog
For those of you reading from RSS readers, this affects you too. But, here’s the good news: This is the last time you’ll ever have to worry about re-subscribing to this blog. My new RSS feed URL is, and will always be, http://feeds.feedburner.com/jdharper. Since I’m using Feedburner, if I ever have the need to move the blog again, it will be easy for me to change it behind the scenes. If you want to keep receiving updates from me, please subscribe to that feed.
Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you on my new blog!
I’m in the process of updating to Wordpress version 2.5. The site may look weird for a few minutes.
OK, I think we’re good now. Fingers are crossed, but I think I’ve fixed the problems that cropped up in the theme. Let me know if anything looks obviously wrong.
On the good side, they redesigned the backend that I’m using right now to type this, and it’s a lot prettier. Much less messy. So far, I approve.
When I upgraded Wordpress to the latest version today, I discovered that the K2 Sidebar Manager had disappeared and that the original Wordpress sidebar widgets had reasserted themselves.
To fix that, I installed the Disable Wordpress Widgets plugin. The K2 widgets instantly reappeared.
I’ve just finished upgrading my blog to Wordpress version 2.3. Let me know if you find anything where the site doesn’t look like it should.
Wordpress 2.3 adds two features that I care about: Post tags, and plug-in update notifications. The former will make it easier for you to find posts that you’re interested in (once I go back and tag all of my old posts), while the latter will make it easier for me to keep plug-ins up-to-date.
I have run into a bug where it keeps telling me that a database table doesn’t exist, but that might be related to an old plug-in. I’ll play with it. It was a plug-in: The Google XML Sitemap generator needed to be updated. Now everything appears to work properly.
