FreeBSD(ish) blogs get some TLC
Quick summary of the changes:
- WordPress MU updated to 2.7.1
- Automatic upgrade is fixed now, so hopefully I’ll be upgrading wpmu and the plugins faster from now on
- K2 theme updated: if you’re planning on using it, I recommend activating Advanced Navigation in K2 options and also use Widgets (both in Appearance menu) or your sidebar will look funny.
- New plugins: All in One SEO (search engine optimization), Sociable (share on social websites), WPhone (iphone friendly css), Akismet (anti-spam), Twitter (display twitter feeds)
- Removed plugins: Iwphone (superseded by WPhone)
- Plugins considered for removal (shout if you want to keep them): Sol-Digg and Sol-Delicious (superseded by Sociable), Spam Karma 2 (superseded by Akismet)
Also I’m having issues with bundled OpenID delegation support, so I’ll keep the third-party plugin for now. As usual, send me an email if you would like new themes/plugins, or if something got broken.

Waiting for WordPress-MU 2.7
With WordPress 2.7 out of the door for a few weeks now, I’m eagerly expecting the release of WordPress-MU 2.7 now. So far I’ve been quite happy with 2.7 running on my personal blogs.
Anyway, in the meantime I’ve been installing more plugins, updating existing ones and also replacing some (both on my blogs and blogs.freebsdish.org). If you’re happen to have a blog there, here are the changes:
- New: Google Analytics
- New: WordPress.com statistics (you’ll need a WordPress API to use it, just go to WordPress.com and signup for an account, no need for the blog)
- New: NextGen Gallery (which actually won’t work, but it will with 2.7)
- Updated: OpenID
If you would like more themes and/or plugins to be installed, just let me know in the comments.
