Thanks to all folks that may have been visiting this site during the times I was taking care of the upgrade. They may have just had to read a “please come back” message, because the site was down.

Anyways, It’s up and running again, this time with an upgraded wordpress version behind it. The template is another story, for I have not had the time to customize it to my liking yet, and I’ll take my time with it. For now, I am happy I could do all this in LESS THAN AN HOUR!!

Once again, thank you for your patience, folks!

There’s no more waiting, the guys from Dreamhost where this blog/site is hosted sent a huge “humpf!” my way because, apparently, I am a security hazard for them with my old, old WP installation

Folks that know me say I am conservative, perhaps a tad too much in what concerns technology hehehehe. The truth is something else, though. I am a procrastinator, that’s what!

Anyways, this time around I am going to do it. I’ll have to go through the bore of adapting a new template as well, because I am taking the opportunity to “clean up” the site looks a little bit. When I am finished, I will share the experience here with a step-by-step how-to dedicated to you folks that would like to do the same and don’t have all the programming knowledge that is often necessary. Cool?

Meanwhile, please bear with the occasional downtime that the site may suffer as I go through this upgrade.

Thanks and Cheers to y’all!

As you might have already noticed, I integrated BBPress with WordPress, right here. It was not easy, nor straightforward, unlike folks around the web might have had you believe it.

I will open a discussion in my forum about this, as I will post an article describing what I had to do to make it work. In the end, it was all about lack of clear and updated information on the part of those bbpress blokes, but I finally found out that you should not try to integrate the latest WordPress with BBPress ’cause of cookies integration. It was simple, after all and I had to downgrade my WP version to 2.5.1 and all was well and yes, straightforward from then on. What wasn’t simple was to find out about it!…

My project involves a lot of customization of BBPress and I will make it public domain here. My code and such will be published under some shareable license as well.
