Okay Fools! I’ve finally upgraded to the WordPress 3.5 Platform.

For one, I’m getting tired of the damn Spam, which seems to prey on non-upgraded websites.
(more…)

If you are reading this message, Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com successfully upgraded to WordPress 3.3.2.

For those of you keeping track, I avoided WordPress 3.3.1, and this was indeed and Upgrade (x.1.x) and not an Update (x.x.1)
(more…)

If you are reading this, the Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com have successfully upgraded Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to the WordPress 3.2.1 release.

Yeah, it took me a little while.
(more…)

If you are reading this, Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com successfully upgraded to WordPress 3.1.1. This was both an update (x.x.1) and an upgrade (x.1), as The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com waited to upgrade to WordPress 3.1 until the first maintenance release.
(more…)

If you are reading this, Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com has successfully updated to WordPress 3.0.5.

This was not a big update, and it only affected a handfull of files.

And again, the auto-update was neither automatic, nor did it update.

I think I have a plug in that really takes a dump in the Upgrades folders. It is really annoying.
(more…)

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com has successfully updated to the latest 0.0.x release of WordPress 3.0.4.

If you are doing the math (and you probably are not), The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com conveniently skipped WordPress 3.0.3.
(more…)

If you are reading this, than The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com successfully updated Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to the lasted .0.x release, WordPress 3.0.2.

This was another chore as the “automatic update” failed its name and was neither automatic, nor an update; so I had to uninstall and reinstall the software, again. It took so long I was able to chat on a phone call from Dad during the process.
(more…)

Last night, Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com attempted to update to WordPress 3.0.1. It was not as successful as we had hoped. The autoupdate bailed, and The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com had to “uninstall and reinstall”. It was not pleasant.

Anyways, it was updated.
(more…)

This is just a notification that Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com has upgraded to the latest version of WordPress 3.0.
(more…)

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com successfully updated to WordPress 2.9.2.

This did not look like a big deal to me, as there is only one-and-a-half authors on Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com, and no one really uses the Users feature. (I’m looking at you Cisco.)
But there is always a chance for some user to register when The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com are not watching.
(more…)

As expected, there was a quick update from the WordPress 2.9 Upgrade.

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com has successfully Updated to WordPres 2.9.1.

As I suspected, there was a bug around Scheduled Articles, which appears to be fixed now.
(more…)

Last night I upgraded Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to, the latest 0.x release: WordPress 2.9.

Since this was a upgrade and not an update, please be aware of any issues you might see on Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com.
(more…)

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com has successfully updated to WordPress 2.8.6..

This was my first automatic update since the Fully Money of WordPress 2.8.5, and while it worked, there was a slight hangup, but I don’t think it was WordPress’s fault.
(more…)

Well the Issue with post numbers is now resolved.

From this point on, the post numbering should be back to normal.
(more…)

I did not notice, but after the Update of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to WordPress 2.8.5, the issue of Post revisions increasing the Post Count returned as I lost the Configuration setting which turned it off.

I discovered it, and turned it back off, and now I have to recover the “lost” database entries. So the next few posts will be backnumbered until that is resolved.
(more…)

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com successfully updated to WordPress 2.8.5.

I did a “Full Monty” (A remove and re-install) this time, since I had the issues with the server last week.
(more…)

On a whim, this weekend, I was tinkering with the PHP pages in WordPress and introduced “Author Pages” to the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com theme.

See, the software looks at the User List, which is a Database Table, and creates a Page, just like it does for the content you are reading right now.

I briefly mentioned it here, with Cisco’s Profile.

The functionality of the page include all the posts written by said Author. (RIght now there are only three Authors who have written posts on Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com. THREE you say? Yes. Read on.) There are currently 25 users.
(more…)

If you are reading this, that means that Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com, successfully updated to the latest 0.0.x release, WordPress 2.8.4.

I would have stalled on the update, but even before I learned of the security hole it fixed, Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com was victim of the exact hacking attempt, yesterday.
(more…)

If you are reading this, then Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com was successfully updated to the lated 0.0.x release, WordPress 2.8.3.

Nothing exciting, just a few more security holes were filled, that were missed in WordPress 2.8.1.
(more…)

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com was successfully updated to the latest x.x.1 release of WordPress.

This was a maintenance release to clean up some of the problems introduced with WordPress 2.8.
(more…)

The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com have updated Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to the latest 0.1 version of WordPress, Version 2.8, if you are reading this, I guess it worked.
(more…)

Yesterday, I upgraded Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to WordPress 2.7.1.

It was one of note, because this was the first time I used the new internal update feature in WordPress.
(more…)

If you are reading this, then The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com have successfully upgraded Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to WordPress 2.7
(more…)

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com has been successfully upgraded to WordPress 2.6.5.

I’m also still trying to figure out why my PC will not properly unzip a WordPress zip file.
(more…)

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com successfully upgraded to Version 2.6.3

Though, technically, I cheated, and I just uploaded the two files for this particular release.
(more…)

Waking up this morning, I noticed that someone is still trying to hack into the Administrative Functions of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com.

But now I know they are actually reading this site.
(more…)

Finally, the database counting errors from WordPress 2.6.1 are over!

(I told you it would take a long time…)
(more…)

If you are reading this, that means The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com were able to finally update the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com WordPress Installation to WordPress 2.6.2.
(more…)

If you are reading this post, The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com have successfully upgraded Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to WordPress Version 2.6.1.

While the WordPress upgrade went fine, I’m disappointed in other things.
(more…)

If you are seeing this message, that means that Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com was successfully upgraded to the newest .x release, WordPress 2.6.

So far, everything looks good on the back end.
(more…)

I just upgraded Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to the latest WordPress 2.5 release. This is a “version” change, so please point out any anomalies you might see.

If you find you cannot comment, please use The Backup Blog.
(more…)

Don’t mind this, I’m geeking out between online applications.

Ah, Web 2.0, is there anything it can’t do?

I’ve been tinkering with an unused WordPress feature on Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com:

Tagging

You should see them in the Grey “Meta Line” under the article title.
(more…)

Just another FYI, in my Administrivial Maintenance of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com, I’ve re-instated the second layer of Spam Protection (Bad Behavior).

I turned it off a few months ago as it was blocking The-Evil-Doctor-Merlin-Channing-Lowe-Jr. (HA, Chan, I beat you this time!)
(more…)

Well, whatever the issue was, a “simple” upgrade of WordPress to the latest version (v.2.3.2) and Eureka! The comment issue is resolved.

Product Managers love people like me. “if it don’t work, get a bigger version!”
(more…)

So I’m noticing a strange behavior with Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com, which started happening last night.

In Firefox, when you view a page, and use the address h-t-t-p-colon forward-slash forward-slash w-w-w-dot jeremy-gilby-dot-com, nothing displays. No Source, No Data, No color, just a white screen.

When you view a page and use the address Without the www-dot, it appears normal.
(more…)

For those of you keeping track of the version number at the bottom of this page, it just incremented by 0.0.1 as I’ve upgraded Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to Version 2.2.2.
(more…)

I’ve been going over my spam logs for Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com and since Friday, I’ve been getting at least one piece of comment/trackback spam every minute. So, I’ve downloaded the latest version of Bad Behavior to put as the primary defense again.

Spam Karma was doing to the trick, but it is thrashing my comment table. I had to do something.
(more…)

With the recent successes in the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com database, I’m going to try to re-promote Bad Behavior to be the primary Spam Deterrence.
(more…)

To sweep in the month of June, I decided to finally upgrade to the 2.2 branch of the WordPress 2.x Tree, from the 2.0.x Tree.

This was a major upgrade compared to the previous maintenance releases. As some of my personal theme’s tags were deprecated and thus rendered useless.

Add to the fact there was a database update. (Big deal)
(more…)

Minor Upgrade, we did it, and it looks just fine here.

If you the reader (or especially the commenter) see a problem, let The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com know.
(more…)

At Geof’s suggestion, I’ve installed Spam Karma on Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com.

Which means, that you should comment, and make sure you are allowed through the uber-spam wall that is now implemented at Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com.
(more…)

These Upgrades are getting easier with experience.

Not that any of you should notice, but Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com just updated to WordPress 2.0.5.

So far, so good.

If you notice any adverse behavior (more than normal, that is) please let The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com know.
(more…)

Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com was HACKED!

I can hardly believe it.

I’m worthy to be hackable now.
(more…)

Not much of an update today. Because I’ve been revamping some of the extra pages to fit the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com theme.
It will take me awhile (and each page is increasing my post count [and I don't quite like that -.ed])
(more…)

Just upgraded Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to the latest release of WordPress.

I didn’t fix any of the bugs I’ve recently discovered (So I guess I need to log them, so they DO get fixed)
(more…)

In the everpresent quest to prevent spam comments from plaguing Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com; The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com have added yet another layer of anti-spam protection.
(more…)

I just updated Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to the recently released Version 2.0. It wasn’t all that difficult of an upgrade, and Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com visitors should not see anything different. (Most of the changes were done in the back end)

(more…)

Late Friday Night, I enjoied some Geek-Downtime and finally got around to updating Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to WordPress 1.5.2.

I’m getting the hang of these updates. Given good bandwidth it takes about 15-20 minutes to backup, delete, upload and run the Upgrade protocol. (Ironically, it takes about 20 minutes for The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com to compile a weekly report on the cubicle jungle for the rest of the Not-So-Small-Software-Organization.)
(more…)

You may have noticed, I’ve added a new section to the SideBar.

Thanks to Alex King’s Popularity-Contest-Plugin I’ve got some nifty reports.
(more…)

The story so far…
I Abhor spam.
Its the lowest form of evil in the known universe. Its subversive, its toxic, its the embodiment of all that is evil and discusting in the marketing universe. Its the worst manifestation of the Bottom-Dwelling blood-sucking marketing Leeches

Anyways, I was the target (like most other major WordPress users) of trackback spam. It was awful, so bad that a few of you might have noticed it.
(more…)

AH HA! I finally found the annoying little tweak that caused all my autoformatted [br] tages to suddenly un-auto-format.

It was that “Markdown” plugin that comes, default, with WordPress.
(more…)

I finally got around to the WordPress Upgrade (1.5.1.2)
[For those of you keeping score, that is 0.0.1.2 more than I had before]

The Upgrade was quite simple. I’m liking these new themes, no need to horde my code away so that it doesn’t get overwritten.
(more…)

Scandal! Coverup! Investigations! Clandestine Cyber-sleuthing! Diabolical Methods! – Is this another Clinton Scandal? Karl Rove is on the move? No. This is WordPress!

Uh oh. It seems the geniuses behind the webpublishing software I use are doing some “diabolical” things.

I saw this article on h-t-t-p-colon forward-slash forward-slash slash-dot-dot-org: WordPress Banned by Google for Spamming
(more…)

A lot of you (okay ONE of you) have asked about the strange Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Department nomenclature:

Or, you may or may not have noticed the quirky Department names that appear under the meta-headings of most recent posts which appear on Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com.

Well, it shouldn’t be a secret that the Departments are just made up at the time of the post. Most are just second ideas for titles for individual posts. Others are just something unique and funny to a select few readers who might stumble by, others are inside jokes. Some are funny, others are not.

Or did you think that The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com had endless resources in Page Generation, bureaucraticly delegated to hundreds of different departments of Pontifications and Mindless Banter?
(more…)

Please Pardon our dust, as our WP1.5 Upgrade is proceeding

Please Stand By

Comments do not appear to be working.
Please be patient. I know you have a lot to say.
(more…)

Yes, this is still Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com, we’re just going through some changes.

You might run across some pages with the old template.

DON’T PANIC: This will be corrected too.

Good-bye Greymatter,
Welcome to WordPress

At Geof’s suggestion, I’ve implemented WordPress over at the Geek-Project that is lovingly called Geek-Brigade-dot-com.
