WordPress Upgrade Chain:
Report bugs. Upgrades like this always make me nervous.
Papa Fly Productions and the nsn section should change over during the next couple of days, once I have kicked the tires here a bit.
[Update: 29 Jan 2007, 5:00pm] nsn portion upgraded to 2.1
[Update: 29 Jan 2007, 6:00pm] Papa Fly Films upgraded to 2.1. I was nervous about theme compatibility, so I made a full backup of the 2.0.7 install beforehand.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford.
Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

First snag:
The Category Order 1.9.3 plugin does not work.
Thankfully, my modified Better Feed 1.1 plugin seems to.
First complaint:
The new visual text editor still mangles the code of any post you open with it. After a single experiment, I have disabled it.
First possibility:
Once I have modified the new upload manager to make 320×240 pixel thumbnails, I will save myself a good bit of time when posting photos of the day.
I posted a question about it on the support forum.
I think I’m still running 2.0.4 or 2.0.5. I suppose I should update. I hate the visual editor too, but I’m too lazy to manage my own HTML. The visual works for my simple posts, but if I ad any images at all, it breaks.
Seth,
I do all my images manually: edit in Photoshop, make a thumbnail, upload both with FTP, then write IMG tags to place it in the post.
It’s a bit of a pain, really.
Another take on WP 2.1
Regarding thumbnails:
Open wp-admin/admin-functions.php and around line 2118 (near the bottom of the page) you will see the line below. Change the 128 value to 320. That should do it.
$max_side = apply_filters( ‘wp_thumbnail_max_side_length’, 128, $attachment_id, $file );
This kind of post is probably best dumped somewhere less visible.
The thumbnail thing is all worked out, as you can see on today’s post.
Now, I am working on Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin. I have posted a question about its compatibility with WP 2.1. If that is all good, I will shift nsn to 2.1 quite soon.
