Can WordPress slow down the updates?

Danny — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 04:07:49 +0000

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!

WordPress Update & Portfolio

Danny — Sun, 04 May 2008 07:30:51 +0000

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.
