Upgrading to WordPress 2.5

Wordpress 2.5 UpgradeWe have been delaying the upgrade from WordPress 2.3.3 to 2.5 for a week or so to see how it’s played out in the blogosphere and to test it out on a few other websites. So far, the new admin area upgrades are very welcomed. I’ve been monitoring the 2.5 plugin compatibility list waiting for a few plugins we run to appear on the “compatible” side, but there’s still a few that haven’t. I think we’re going to go ahead with the upgrade and see how we fair.

So, plugins deactiving, files uploading, here we go…

UPDATE Upgrade went well. Looks like there’s a few plugin fixes needed…

UPDATE Seems like the two plugins I tried to use for getting recent comments aren’t working correctly. It’s not important enough of a feature for me to debug myself, so I’ll just disable and keep an eye out if they update.

The New Photoshop Lab

Photoshop Lab
If you’ve been here before, then I now welcome you to the new Photoshop Lab. I’ve been wanting to update the design of this site for a very, very long time. I’ve gone through many different design phases. In fact, I have about 14 different mock-ups I’ve done over the past year or so. I finally pushed myself to complete one of the designs and well… here you go. Let’s move on to the new features:

  • Entirely WordPress-based.
  • jQuery (my favorite of all libraries) fanciness on the homepage slideshow and navigation.
  • The Trunk - a new place for random quips and awesomeness.
  • Less ad-slop. I wanted to make my advertising more appealing (and hopefully more effective) by cleaning it up a bit.
  • A new place to submit tutorial ideas.

There’s still a fair amount of debugging to do, especially with Internet Explorer 6 (ugh), but it should be good to go for the most part. I hope you enjoy and if there are any glaring issues, please email us.

The Site Will Now Be PaintLab.com

With such a break-through application, that really puts Photoshop to shame, I could no longer continue supporting something so inferior.
