Testing Upgrade…

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Have upgraded both MySQL and Wordpress… hopefully nothing is too broken.

Comment pages/permalinks are currently broken, but I know how to fix that. It will require a small tweak to support the date-stamp style permalinks I like to use.

BTW I am sick of wordpress, it is too big and requires too many upgrades. My blog could almost be handled by a single page of PHP, and yet there’s about a gazillion of them in wordpress, so debugging and customizing is a super pain. If I had some time I think I would write a “Lite” version which uses the same database but isn’t full of rarely used cruft.

    That’s another reason I’m sick of Wordpress… by default it seems to have no decent anti-spam strategy (except to moderate, meaning I have to wade through copious trash to decide whether to delete it). I got more spam in the last two days than I have in the last year on this blog.

    (have reinstated my custom method, now spam free again)

    This is the exact reason I wrote my own. My main blog page is ONE fairly small PHP script, handling categories, comments and the like. Because I keep it private I do not have to worry about idiots trying to hack at the way I did things. Nevermind that the spambots that look for particular types of blogging software mostly ignore my websites.

    The only major feature I would say I am missing over something like Wordpress is the lack of trackbacks, which I could probably do if I really cared. I say write your own!
