Wordpress 2.5 - Update Completed

Fri, 16 May 2008 17:58:26 +0000

I finally got around to updating to the latest version of Wordpress and it was reasonably painless. I know I’ve left it a rather long time but experience has shown me that it’s often a good idea to wait a while until some of the inevitable bugs get ironed out.

I’ve always relied on the Wordpress Automatic Updates plugin in the past and it served me well again this time around. After the update and being greeted with the admin interface changes it took me an hour or so to get familiar with the new layout, but Wordpress have definitely introduced some very helpful new ideas.

The first thing I noticed was the notifications in the plug ins menu advising of new versions, along with an extremely useful auto update feature. This wouldn’t work for me, but the problem had already been encountered by many others so finding the solution was quick and easy (another benefit of not upgrading to soon). Disabling the automatic updates plugin allowed me to quickly update all the items with a few mouse clicks - I like that!

The next problem was that none of my pages were accessible aside from the main index! I was getting nothing but redirect errors. Luckily for me a quick search in the Wordpress forums led me to an easy to implement solution. It’s all to do with those canonical URL’s and the fix was a case of installing the “Disable Canonical URL Redirection ” plugin which took a couple of minutes. I’m not sure if I should leave that as a permanent fix or not, but it works and solves the immediate problem.

Aside from those issues, the upgrade went very well and I breathed a sigh of relief. I lost one plugin that was not compatible with the new WP version and is not going to be developed further.

In all, I like the new admin interface, I love the auto update feature for plugins and think that overall, the new WP has introduced some great improvements.

I have also added a new feature for commenters in the form of SezWho so that now in conjunction with dofollow, comments are given even further benefit to those who contribute.

T35 & Web Hosting Interview with Alex Melen

On the Wal-Mart-ized Web...

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:39:00 -0400

Liam says this week's most important trend is web hosting providers' continued expansion of data center footprints. The strong demand for hosting facilities seems like a good sign. At the same time, there are a number of outside-world developments that folks in the hosting business ought to keep an eye on.

1. On Wednesday, in addition to officially releasing RHEL5, Red Hat announced that it will soon launch an open source marketplace called Red Hat Exchange (RHX). As Business Week reports, Red Hat will guarantee the compatibility of RHX products with its platform AND provide tech support for each and every 3rd party product on the exchange. In addition, RHX will allow end users to submit ratings, read reviews and compare notes.

2. Later that afternoon, Microsoft said it will buy Tellme Networks. The Associated Press thinks the deal is worth $800 million to $1 billion.

3. Less than a day later, Cisco announced that it has agreed to acquire WebEx for $3.2 billion (or $2.9 billion, if you deduct WebEx's $300 million cash balance).

4. And last but not least Google sort of confirmed that it's working on a mobile phone.

It's a Wal-Mart-ized web; every Big Co wants to assemble a broader range of more seamlessly integrated products for a wider and better networked audience. This leaves less and less of a market for old school vendors who sell standalone widgets to isolated prospects.

For instance, consider 1&1's recent survey of 765 small business owners. Andreas says 100% of the respondents agree that the absence of a company website is bad for sales, but there's much more to these customers' operations beyond setting up a web presence. Might they not benefit from Zoho or ThinkFree powered productivity apps? SharePoint based collaboration? CRM?

More importantly, Andreas counts "hundreds of thousands of US small businesses" among his customers. As such, one super valuable feature that he's uniquely positioned to deliver is a 1&1 social network through which customers can connect with potential vendors, partners and buyers. I feel like 1&1 is really missing out by amassing a sizable community without leveraging it for its members' benefit.

As SWSoft CEO Serguei Beloussov likes to point out, 1&1 and its competitors have sold tens of millions of "web hosting 1.0" accounts, which collectively generate billions in annual revenue. He's absolutely right - but as you see above, the world's not standing still...
