Launching the site on WordPress 2.8, and using Google Gears to boot. This will be an interesting experiment while I finish up my work that I started on a new publishing engine that doesn’t rely on a stinky old relational database.
So far the new major features in 2.8 disappoint – demanding hostnames and login credentials without really explaining what they are, or why they are needed. WordPress, you need a hostname for what? Don’t you already know the site you are running on, and know where your plugins/themes are being hosted? Silly.
I'm Mitch, and this is my blog. I tend to blow the whole thing up and relaunch using a completely different platform every 90 days or so. You can learn more about me on my social site stuff (see links below) and by reading about me on this here site.
So I figured out the silly problem, and it was all about permissions. Would probably be better if WordPress simply said “hey man, I can’t write to the filesystem because you had a major brainfart and forgot to chown everything to the lighttpd user, m’kay?”
If I wrote a blog engine it would have a little sass.
