HOEI

I have been furiously testing Twitter gadgets just like a slew of other folks. Live happened and I did not blog or tweet much for a couple of days. However, this blog and my Twitter home page did not get the memo to stop the presses until I returned. Below is what happens when you tell Twitter Tools to “Create a daily digest blog post from your tweets?” and at the same time telling Twitterfeed to post tweets for all new posts.

And here is the Twitter end:

The way I stopped the loop was to disable the feed for this one domain in Twitterfeed.  I have activated the “Create a tweet when you post” option in the Twitter Tools options.  We will see how that works out.

I have stepped out on a limb and upgraded one of my production blogs (Riley’s Page) to WordPress 2.5 RC1.  Well, it is sort of production in that it is still live.  I plan to shutdown Riley’s Page at some point and consolidate all of my family blogging into my personal blog.  Here a couple of additional notes about this upgrade so far:

• Riley’s Page was running on its own MYSQL database instance
• It was a direct upgrade from WP 2.1 to 2.5
• The blog uses the default WordPress theme (the theme folder was not upgraded at all)

Others are blogging about this today and recommending a little more cautious approach than what I am taking.

Invitation: I am inviting all of my blogging buddies to take a look under the hood of WordPress 2.5.  If you know me well enough to have my personal email, then drop me a note and I will hook you up with an admin account on the back end of Riley’s Page.
