I’ve updated my site to WordPress 3.0. There are a few new things, most of which I’ll never use on this blog. Though I do enjoy the new theme (now default) that WordPress has included with 3.0.
I’ll be playing around with it for a bit to see how the new features can best be implemented into other projects. Really looking forward to finally creating a theme or two. Been holding off until this release was finalized.
Yeah, I’m running a new theme on my site. It’s a bit Apple-ish… ok, it’s a lot Apple-ish. Not sure if I like it or not. No, I cannot take credit for the design, it’s a template I found on the WordPress site. Just a click of a button and it was installed. I did change one line of code to get rid of a image that was included. Maybe one day I’ll make my own theme.
As you can see, I’m back to the default WordPress theme right now. It sucks, and that is part of why I’m using it right now. You see, I’ve been unhappy with my old theme for a while now, and I’ve been wanting to get something new posted. Hopefully this will encourage me to get that done. Of course, before I do anything to my site I have to get the new forum skin finished for OverclockersClub.com, which I am more than a little late on wrapping up.
I’m back again. Upgraded my site to the latest version of WordPress. I must say, I’m really liking the changes to the dashboard! 
I’ll play around with the other features later. Now, I just need to figure out what I want my next theme to look like… I wish I was more artistic in that regard.
Sorry about the bit of downtime earlier today. I actually moved my site over to a new set of servers in an attempt to improve performance.
When you ask people about GoDaddy.com, most people either hate them or love them. Me? Well, I’m mostly on the love the side of the house. I’ve never had any kind of major problem with them. In fact, when my site was running e107, someone exploited an issue with the services trackback functions. A support rep from GoDaddy contacted me, and we worked to resolve the issue.
I’ve been hosted on GoDaddy now for several years, and like I said, no major problems. However, for the last few months, I’ve noticed a considerable slowdown that just shouldn’t be there considering I’m running a single instance of WordPress. I upgraded PHP, MySQL, and removed plugins in an attempt to speed things up. Nothing had anything more than a marginal impact. So last night, I upgraded my hosting plan moving from GoDaddy’s Linux Shared Hosting package to their new Linux Grid Hosting (beta) package.
I’m really not sure what they mean by beta hosting, but so far it is certainly faster.
Now that the site is working, I’ll have another moment of downtime while I upgrade my WP install to v2.7.
