Greetings All,

This past few days, I been trying out a lot of new things on my site. Testing out new things that I have not try before. What an eye opener it has been for me. Web 2.0 is heavily storming the internet. I shall go to that direction as well.

Firstly, my upgrading to WordPress 2.3 was completed. My Mandigo Theme latest version upgraded. Wah.. Lucky for me, it went smoothly. No problem.

Secondly, I am trying out FeedBurner for the first time & still playing around with it. Pretty cool stuffs they have there. I wonder why I did not use it before. Lol..

Lastly, I am also trying out Singapore Entrepreneur Alvin Phang’s Atomic Blogging & BlogCashGuide products hoping to learn & get more targeted traffic. I will be giving a full review of his products soon. Maybe, one month later or sooner.

It is to my understanding that Alvin Phang has a unique way of getting tons of targeted traffic by using & getting involve with Web 2.0 platform applications. More about this later in his product review.

Greetings All,

The latest version 2.3 is finally out with tons of features. The features are taken from WordPress.org

Remember to backup your old version before upgrading!! Backup your MySql database as well!!

Here we go…

1. Native tagging support allows you to use tags in addition to categories on your post, if you so choose. We’ve included importers for the Ultimate Tag Warrior, Jerome’s Keywords, Simple Tags, and Bunny’s Technorati Tag plugins so if you’ve already been using a tagging plugin you can bring your data into the new system. The tagging system is also wicked-fast, so your host won’t mind.

2. Our new update notification lets you know when there is a new release of WordPress or when any of the plugins you use has an update available. It works by sending your blog URL, plugins, and version information to our new api.wordpress.org service which then compares it to the plugin database and tells you what the latest and greatest is you can use.

3. We’ve cleaned up URLs a bunch in a feature we call canonical URLs which does things like enforce your no-www preference, redirect posts with changed slugs so a link never goes bad, redirect URLs that get cut off in emails on similar to the correct post, and much more. This helps your users, and it also helps your search engine optimization, as search engines like for each page to be available in one canonical location.

Greetings All,

WordPress latest 2.3 is coming up soon. It is said that there are tons of new features. I was wondering what is the new features will be.

As right now, I am still using Version 2.2.2 & I might want to upgrade to Version 2.3. Maybe I might not upgrade it straight away but maybe after a couple of days it is launch later.

It is understand that some plugins might not work well with Version 2.3. Google sitemap plugin is one of those plugins having a lot of issues.

Upgrading at times can be troublesome as you might seriously encounter incompatible issue with version 2.3.  The best solution against upgrade disaster is always to make a backup to your current working version.

Honestly, I hate upgrading but if you don’t upgrade, you will lose out of the new features. I have been trying hard to avoid upgrading due to incompatible issues. BUT this time round, I will upgrade. In fact, my theme version is also outdated. Will upgrade that as well.

Just hope that, my upgrading to version 2.3 & my theme upgrade will be smooth. For those of you who wish to upgrade, always backup your current version plus your mySql databases. These two backups is very important to avoid upgrade disaster. Always follow the steps given by wordpress.org when you upgrade.

All the best to your upgrades!
