Why I love Wordpress

Posted on April 30th, 2008 in Geek Stuff, This Blog, Web Development | No Comments »

I was just thinking that I love Wordpress. No, not for the exceptional code that is in it. Or for several of the other reasons that one could really not like the application.

No, I love it for the ease of using it. I just updated my blog today and was very impressed with how fast and smooth the update went.

Step 1: (Optional) Delete old files
Step 2: Upload new files
Step 3: Run the upgrade script
Step 4: Enjoy the new digs

Yes, it was that easy. And the newest admin interface rocks hard. I was using the Tiger Admin interface but this one looks nice enough to use as is.

So to the Wordpress dev team, well done on this one. I am looking forward to the newer stuff coming out in the future.

Emails from registering may not be getting through

Posted on April 30th, 2008 in General, This Blog | No Comments »

I have discovered recently that emails sent from my blog to newly registered users may not be getting through. I am looking in to what might be causing this.

In the meantime, if you have registered on my blog and have not received your username and password email please email robert [@t] everah [d0t] com with the username you selected when registering and I will try to make it better for you.

And for security, email me from the email you used to register. Otherwise I won’t do anything. Thanks.
