WordPress 2.1 Upgrade

Posted by scotty on January 30th, 2007 in WordPress

WordPress 2.1 “Ella” has recently been released. Check the announcement page for new features.

  • Auto-save your post while you are editing as draft.
  • New WYSIWYG editor.
  • New upload manager.
  • … and more.

Currently all existing blogs on FOCUSer.net are running WordPress 2.0.7, and you don’t need to upgrade if you are happy with the older version. Otherwise comment here (or email me) if you wish to have your site upgraded.

Btw, does anyone have spam issue? Anyone else using Akismet here? Akismet is an automated comment spam defense system, which will help you eliminating majority of the comment spams. It is available in your plugin list, but you will also need a WordPress.com API key to activate it.

Again, ask me if you are getting way too many comment spams (say 10 a day).

What’s in the cooking

Posted by scotty on September 21st, 2006 in Announcement

Long time no update here. So here are somethings that are in the cooking (or have already been cooked).

  • Two new blogs have been created. Mariah from MBF and Marcus from Pelita. In Marcus’ case — welcome back.

  • A bit of shuffle around with the URLs. Recent updates are now on update.focuser.net, Recent comments are now on comment.focuser.net, and Net FTP are now on ftp.focuser.net. It cleans out the focuser.net for something bigger happening next.

  • Managed to fix up the Recent comments to clean out some of WordPress’ mis-information. Also, as I have to add your site onto that list separately, please tell me if your site comments are not listed there. It only works with WordPress’ blogs, hosted here or elsewhere, but not other blog services.

  • Something bigger is in planning and implementation stage. I am planning to transform focuser.net to something else that is yet to be defined. Something that is of “social networking” nature, open for registration for all FOCUSer and ex-FOCUSers. Something the old FOCUS website was implementing before the current information-only design took over last year…

The last point is out of frustration of keeping up contacts with the old ex-FOCUSers. Something interactive, like a forum, without the potential of getting into “ministry difficulties” like our previous attempts (thus on a separate domain).

Thoughts?
