WordPress 2.8 is officially out

Hi Dennis, yes, WordPress updates do have a way of sneaking up on you! Glad you are a fan!!

Hi Jim, you're welcome. With everything tech these days, seems like we are always updating one thing or another.

And, yes, having your blog on your profile is great...another reason to be a paying member.

Also, you can do the same thing on your LinkedIn profile as well.

Hearing lots of issues today on the new install. Might be worth to revisit my final thought, "don't feel you have to update right away!"

I just got a note from a colleague about her update experience and thought I would share these two comments from her...

Just a note, she is using a WooThemes

"It fixed a problem with Firefox that caused my browser to crash when adding media files to a blog posting. This was recent problem in the last two weeks. Word Press said it was Firefox's issue, so I started using IE as a workaround. The new version, however, fixed this. Yeah!"

"I noticed when installing a simple text widget to a sidebar that it now asks if I want paragraphs to automatically be formatted. Instead of having to input breaks or some other HTML code to get the right formatting, checking this box has solved those pesky problems."

Hey Dennis, I took a look. What exactly are you wanting to happen on the page...?

Looks like a lot of the text is just wrapped around various photos at different sizes.

I would size some of the photos down if you can to make them consistent with each other, insert closer to the text you want it by, then use the scaling on the image editing to get them to flow a little better for you. Hope that makes sense!

Yeah, you have to be careful with the image wrap. It works quite a bit better of smaller images, the large ones can cause havoc. Personally I still like it as being a designer, the flow is nice. But what Rick suggested is good if you want you image to align as image only.

Thanks Christian, that is a biggies as well. Those little buggers can wreak havoc!

And you are so right, it seems like you just do one upgrade and it's on to another!

Hi Piet, that's strange as I haven't had that problem. My initial thoughts is it may have something to do with the theme you are using. Can you post the address of your blog here?

Hi Piet, my first thoughts is the theme, as I mentioned. You might just try a test and switch themes, seeing if you have the same problem.

Hi Piet, sorry, been out of town. Checked out your site and see that at least you are getting the paragraph breaks.

Not sure why the justification isn't working and why the text becomes invisible. Are you doing your posts in another software, eg, word, and then pasting in. If so, there may be some code causing the problems.

Also, I see the site was designed by someone, you may ask them and see if they know what may be causing it...

Hi Maria, welcome to Biznik. Yes, feel free to post questions here. I try to keep on top of them, but the great part of Biznik and this group, is you have the community at your fingertips. Also feel free to send me a DM via Biznik at anytime.

Okay, I am one to not upgrade the minute WP puts one out. I waited, read the trials and tribulations of others who have updated, watched as bugs were worked out, and today I did the upgrade.

It went as smooth as silk and all I can say is "Whew!"
