Take 2 of the march towards wp 2.0 has received a healthy shot in the arm —
meet is2. This time around the upgrade was a smooth as silk. Currently tags and categories work side by side and the issues experienced in the last upgrade have, ehm, gone. Plugins are yet to be installed but […]

   “I?ve noticed that a few people aren?t installing WordPress 2.0. Rather, some folks have tried to install it and decided that it wasn?t ready for them yet. Still other people have decided that 2.0 doesn?t offer them anything beyond what they were getting in the 1.5 code beyond an upgrade headache.”

Ok, so it appears I’m going to have to build a new wordpress 2.0 blog from complete scratch — which sucks. The 1.5.x data appears to be full of cruft and causes untold grief in wp 2.0 (doubly so as I use ‘tags’).

plugin status and what
may or may not work might prove useful, as will the
support channels.

It appears WP has gone
release candidate. This is a very cool thing.. but, things are not quite ready for release IMHO.
If you use wordpress as standard, the upgrade should, more or less work. If you use
cat2tag,
ultimate tag warrior or deviate away even just a smidgen from the standard install (and lets face […]

We have success! Transplanted the mainboard to a Biostar K8NHA Grand and all is well with the universe. :)
So here I am with a new Althon64 powered system - running on a Gigabyte
GA-K8VM800M.. all great and groovy right? Wrong.

Via apparently still some way to go before ironing the same issues that have plagued their […]

Just a quick update - have managed to get Ajax comments up and running in ‘fauna’, the current theme.
