Oh WordPress 3.0 :-3 hai

What does this mean? I have no idea but I guess theres a bunch of new features and such. I never started using WordPress until I noticed how many of XenServ’s clients were using WordPress.

Upgrading with XenServ

How did I upgrade? Well often Plugins and such can BREAK causing WordPress to eat up more cpu, etc. When you’re paying a host less then 10 dollars a month and every page load including the(ose) broken script’s it’s not quite friendly :-/ so please review error_log always and if you don’t have error_log, that sucks!

I don’t have many Plugins, they actually had updates which i did prior. I was considering trying 3.0 during the Release Candidate days but I decided to wait until client’s may try an upgrade.

I’d suggest removing all prior Plug-ins, anything custom; Then Upgrade, of course Backup first . You may not need to remove every plugin, just understand that freshly installing things may be best. After upgrading keep an eye on the error_log for details of issues.

This blog hasn’t had a single error since Jan. lots of resource consuming blogs fill logs with dozens of errors per second which isn’t healthy – we run error_log’ing for easy diagnostic usages.
