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).

Problem with upgrading is, some of your plugins might not work, if you aren’t diligent in upgrading them as well. I’ll just upgrade yours first and see how it goes.
As of spams, you need to register an account at WordPress.com, get an API key for Akismet, and turn it on from your own focuser.net WordPress blog. I am getting around 100+ comment spams a day and Akismet blocks 99% of them.

Just in case I got flooded with “me too” requests, I’ve just made an executive decision to upgrade you all. So if there’s anything broken — I’ll take a look and fix it later :)
