Upgrade news & OpenID

Today I upgraded the blog software at sheeri.com (and sheeri.net and sheeri.org). Please let me know if you find something that doesn't work as expected -- awfief@gmail.com.

At the MySQL Users Conference, my good friend Mark Atwood (creator of the free Amazon S3 Storage Engine) mentioned that any site with a login should have OpenID as an option.

Mark, I upgraded for you! I was using Wordpress 1.5.2, now I'm at the "latest" version. Anyway, this is just to let folks know that if you so choose, you may now use OpenId if you wish to login and make comments.

Of course, I do not require login (and have a great spam filter) so that's just another choice you have.

2nd bug -- the RSS feeds

2nd bug -- the RSS feeds seem to work, but have been reloaded. I apologize if you see articles in your feed that you've already seen.

Hah, I just found my first

Hah, I just found my first upgrade bug -- it's a bug in the posting process, so it doesn't affect y'all reading it, but I thought you might be amused.
