The Coburn Blog

Well, I just got around to upgrading my Wordpress blog from the old 2.33 version,  to 2.6,  and I must say, I am very impressed with this new version!

I haven’t had a whole lot of time to play with it yet. I’m still working on a couple plugin incompatibility issues, and wordpress’s built in avatar’s feature, but I’ll play with those as I go along.  I definitely like this new admin interface better then the old 2.3 version anyway.  I didn’t upgrade when 2.5 came out because I was afraid some of my plugins wouldn’t be compatible with this version. I was pleasantly surprised that most of my plugins were.  In fact, I’m adding a couple more plugins back that I had to take out before that were basically rewritten by other authors after the previous authors dropped off the face of the earth, so I’m pleasantly surprised on that.  I’d still like to redo my theme one day to support sidebar widgets, but that is a major project I don’t have time to mess with right now.  I mean, its not too much of a major project, but I just don’t have time to mess with it right now.

I definitely like this new admin interface alot better. The visual write interface works alot better then it did in previous versions. I’m also able to add media and streaming video alot easier without having to use an external plugin, which is really cool.  The rest I haven’t had a chance to play around with much yet, but I will and post my thoughts about later.

Remax is coming over in a few minutes to have someone else look at the house.  I’m selling my house because the yardwork is more then I am able to do by myself.  For most people who know I’m legally blind, moeing grass is something I’ve never been able to do very well..  It would be neat to have a blind person teach me how to do that one of these days, I’m sure there is a way,  its probably something really easy I’m just not thinking of.  hehe

I’ll make a new post in a couple of days, for there have been alot of changes in my life for the good that have been happening lately. I just don’t have time to write about them right now.
