Blog Upgrade

ChrisM   |   No Comments » Posted on October 19, 2007

As I found I was unable to login to my CPanel interface, I decided to see what else I could break. This blog is now running on WordPress v2.3
I needed to upgrade one plugin, and am now unable to save options within the ‘Reading’ subset, as well as receiving a few strange errors in the admin area of this blog, but all seems well otherwise.
Anyway, I’ve found that I can still access CPanel via https and using a different port number, so I’ll leave things alone for now :)
As promised earlier, I’ll be writing a few posts on my experiences in Britain later, with a special mention for Hans Theessink :)

UK Reviews Coming Up

ChrisM   |   No Comments » Posted on September 25, 2007

I have just arrived in Britain, after a few days in Amsterdam with AlexC and ChrisD. Not entirely sure just what my plans will be yet, but as this blog is primarily aimed at eventually supplying readers with reviews of products, services and venue that are of interest to those in the UK, I am hoping to have a little more material to work with soon :)
I may end up writing these once I get back to Kazakhstan again (17th October), so please forgive me if there is a large delay…

Blog Upgraded

ChrisM   |   No Comments » Posted on August 27, 2007

This must be a record for me, I was only three weeks late in upgrading to WordPress’ latest version (2.2.2) this time. I am still unable to upgrade the original blog (www.ChrisMerriman.com), as there are a couple of plugins that have not yet been updated to work with this newer version. As these plugins are used to create the basic structure of many elements within that blog, there is not much I can do for now.
Once I have returned from my trip to Amsterdam, I’m hoping to start posting more regularly here.

Bad Behaviour

ChrisM   |   No Comments » Posted on August 14, 2007

It has been a while since I last made a post here, apologies. I have been busy with my other blog, a UPS playing up, a hard drive dying, and organizing a trip to Amsterdam. I will try and start posting more regularly, sorry.
In the mean time, if anyone has any suggestions as to what sort of sites or products they would like to see reviewed here, please do leave a comment. This blog is still in it’s infancy, so nothing is yet set in stone.

Made A Few Changes To This Blog

ChrisM   |   No Comments » Posted on July 17, 2007

First, I changed the permalink structure. Originally, it resulted in long URLs for posts, that had less clout with search engines than the current approach.
Now each post should simply be accessible by it’s name, no need for the category, date, or anything else.
For example, this post should hopefully be accessible via http://test.chrismerriman.com/made-a-few-changes-to-this-blog/

Secondly, I found the line of code from the post below this that caused the sidebars to go wrong, on some themes. Hopefully that should all be sorted now.

Finally, I’ve tweaked the header image a little, hopefully it looks fine now?

Some Test Scripts

The following is just some script to check the new theme I’ve uploaded, apologies if they render incorrectly.

OK so far

Well, after some VERY basic testing, only the King set of plugins appear to have problems with WP 2.2

I still need to test a lot more, and play with themes a little.

Once the King plug ins have an update for WP2.2 compatibility, looks like I am ready to move the main blog – www.ChrisMerriman.com over to 2.2 :)

1st Post

Welcome to test.ChrisMerriman.com

This is an area for me to try out things without risking the main blog.

The first test? Will WP 2.2 like my normal collection of plug ins?
