Haibane.info has been upgraded to WordPress 2.1. I wish I could say I rolled up my sleeves and got down and dirty in the trenches of php and database backups, but actually all I did was click a single button on my Dreamhost control panel. It’s literally just one click to install any of the supported tools like WordPress, Mambo, MediaWiki, phpBB, Joomla, etc. and things like upgrades are one-click as well. If you’re in the market for a web host, take a look at what Dreamhost has to offer. You can get $50 bucks off if you use promo code haibane50, to boot.
Of course, upgrading WordPress doesn’t mean I’ve upgraded the K2 theme. Guess I’ll have to get my hands dirty after all…
UPDATE: ok, we are now in K2 0.9.5 RC1. I’m experimenting with the Livesearch function on the upper right, it auto-updates the main page with search results as you type. Please let me know if Haibane.info starts to load very slowly for you due to the extra javascript load.
I’ve just added “Textile 2”:http://idly.org/category/geekery/wordpress/textile and “Live Comment Preview”:http://www.noscope.com/fauna/ support to Haibane.info. These are cool plugins that combines Textile with AJAX so you should see a preview of the comment with all its formatting in the Preview area below the comment box. Try out some of Textile’s cool inline formatting at the “online demo”:http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/index.php, and I’ve put a short guide to common formatting commands below the Preview area for your reference.
