WordPress 2.5

ใครที่เป็น blogger ตัวยงก็คงจะรู้จักโปรแกรม WordPress ดีพอสมควร ตอนนี้มี version 2.5 release candidate 1 ออกมาให้ลองเล่นดูแล้ว ใครสนใจก็ไปลองเอามาเล่นดูได้ที่นี่ครับ

Update 31-03-08:  Now WordPress 2.5 is officially released.    Kanok.net/blog has also upgraded to 2.5

New Style

I managed to change my blog style from 3 columns to 2 columns.  Should feel more comfortable.  Let me know what you think…

kanok.net/blog (WordPress 2.3.3)

Just a quick notice that WP has release version 2.3.3, a security release.  Learn more from this release at WordPress blog.

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. If you have registration enabled a flaw was found in the XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow a user to edit posts of other users on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs.

OpenID (again)

Now with new PHP v5.x and WP-OpenID 2.1.2, I can officially announce that my blog is now fully support OpenID.

To recap the OpenID the definition is…

OpenID is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity. OpenID takes advantage of already existing internet technology (URI, HTTP, SSL, Diffie-Hellman) and realizes that people are already creating identities for themselves whether it be at their blog, photostream, profile page, etc. With OpenID you can easily transform one of these existing URIs into an account which can be used at sites which support OpenID logins.

Sound too technical!!!  Let’s try this..

OpenID is a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet

With one OpenID you can login to all your favorite websites and forget about online paperwork!

Sound easier?

Two places I usually recommend to get the OpenID for yourself and read more about it are..

Chiang Mai & Mobile Blog

Mobile Blog

Firstly I was worried that I will not be able to update my blog while in Chiang Mai.  Now I find a software called MobiBlockr which runs on my PDA. It says it can post photo too. So I can keep updating my blog while in Chiang Mai.  Looks like the fun is about to begin.

OpenID Enable!

openid_logo.jpg Now I’ve added OpenID to my blog. OpenID is a new concept of one login on multiple website similar to Windows Live ID or Google Account. One good thing that different from others is this is the open standard which anyone can use and implement to their website.

Now my blog reader can use their own OpenID to register and login. Thanks to WP-OpenID WordPress plugin.

More on OpenID can be found at their project web here. The recommend site to get an OpenID is from VeriSign here and it free.

Now let’s see who will the first who login using OpenID

Blog is Back in Business

The [MySQL server has gone away] problem has been fixed by the info from this blog.  Actually it is a problem about the way WordPress talks to SQL server which I don’t know a bit. At least the photo page back to work again.  That’s all I care.   ChaiYo!!

Upgrade woes

Ha ha. The Photo page breaks again after I upgrade the plug-in to the new version. This one use database to keep cache instead of files. May take sometime before I have time to look at it. Anyway, all of my photo still there at my Flickr page
