Just a quick note to say that I have now upgraded to WordPress 2.01. The instructions are very straight forward and the process seems uneventful.
Lots’a fixes I gather. Good to see the team is on the ball!

WordPress 2.0 Kubrick Theme Problems -Solved !
If any of you are using the default Kubrik theme in WordPress 2.0, you may have noted a problem. The Footer seems to be shifted – ever so slightly – to the right! It doesn’t happen in IE 6 though. I have several (test) sites all using that theme at the moment, and they all have the fault. (Not planning on sticking with it long term I might add 😀 )
Naturally, I went looking for a solution, and that Included posting on the forums at WordPress.org.
I quickly found one other person with the same issue (so I was relieved to see it wasn’t just me!) and then a solution appeared.
Hats off to Spencerp for providing the solution.
As usual, the difference in interpretation of CSS by different browsers is a pain. Hopefully IE 7 will be more compliant.
I must admit – an advantage of open-source software is that there is usually someone who has the solution for you 🙂
A strange thing happened on the way to the upgrade.
Well, as I said, I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.0 . One of the first things I wanted to trial was the WYSIWYG editor with uploaded images.
I uploaded an image file (easy) and tried to insert it into a post – it failed! I was left with no image tag at all as soon as I pressed ‘save‘ or ‘save and continue editing‘. (I looked at the html generated). I was UNHAPPY!
I immediately blamed 2.0 of course! I also blamed the upgrade process just in case 🙂 . I resigned myself to NOT using the wysiwyg editor 🙁 . Later, I tried Podz trial site and confirmed that the editor didn’t work there either. So it must have been 2.0 at fault! Right? WRONG!
WordPress 2.0 Installed and working!
Well, if you can see this (and I can!), then I have successfully installed/upgraded to wordpress 2.0 as promised.
I have detailed the process and the quirks on my wordpress development blog at Wetscalpel. If you haven’t tried it, give it a go. I think it was worth the “effort”.
WordPress 2.0 – Come and get it!
As I hope we all know by now, the WordPress 2.0 Release candidate is now available, and I will be trialling it here shortly! I will be reviewing it in the near future so stay tuned!
Akismet – it’s kismet!
Fate indeed! There I was noting my intention to add a SPAM catcher, and there I see on Matt’s site the notification that AKISMET was available!
Well I’m gonna give it a go 🙂
IF it fails there are gonna be a few red faces I guess, but seems such a good idea.
Only concern is privacy, and I hope Matt has figured out the secure aspect of all this?
GO for it!
NoFollow – DoFollow
Just a quick note to my commenters. (umm both of you 🙂 )
I have installed the DoFollow plug-in so you get appropriate google search engine credit for posts here.
As you MAY know, WordPress 1.5.2 automatically inserts a NoFollow tag to all comment links in an effort to reduce comment spam. Not necessarily gonna work though.
Philosophically – you comment you should get the page rank IMHO.
Not alone in this I know, so – DoFollow is here.
Will also institute some decent anti-spam measures soon too.
A fantastic “user guide” to WordPress Themes!
I Just came across this site – WOW!
