Personally, I think wordpress updates too fast. It’s hard for my blog to keep up. I’m running a lot of customized plugins and my theme just don’t work with a lot of the crap. Each upgrade of the wordpress kernel takes me at least an hour to figure out where to modify so that all the functions work OK.

I’m once again up-to-date with it’s current version: 2.7. And I think I’m gonna stay with this version for a while. Happy new year!

I’ve updated my Wordpress to 2.5.1 today. Not much difference in the presentation of the front end. But major difference in the back. While upgrading, I ran into some trouble, mainly because of some old plugins and I was able to resolve them after spending a little time.

I like it very much. Wordpress did a great job!

I’ve also added a new section to this website, my Portfolio. It contains some of the works I’ve done previously. I’m still organizing and will add more and more into it.

Remember in the old days? (well, in the 90’s) There were no blogs. Just pure HTML static sites called “Homepage”s with centered contents in markup lines like <font color=”blue”>Some Text</font> … Almost everybody with a homepage had this thing called “Guestbook” where visitors and friends often leaves messages. Wow! I really miss it!

Guestbook definition by WIKI:

A guestbook is a logging system that allows visitors of a website to leave a public comment. Traditionally, the term applied to the actual ledgers held, for that same purpose, at B&Bs and museums.

So, I’ve added a Guestbook on the left menu! Just to bring back some good’o memories. Click here to sign my Guestbook like how you used to!
