Have you encountered a FATAL ERROR in your blog when you tried to add a new function to your blog?
I did encounter this earlier when I was upgrading to wordpress 2.3. The reason for the fatal error is that I am calling a function that does not exist (perhaps the plugin that has that function has not been activated for example, similar_posts() won’t work unless the Similar Posts plugin is activated).
Solution:
There is a very simple solution to this problem so that you can avoid these kind of errors. You just have to make use of the function_exists function in PHP…

Silkenhut’s World is finally running Wordpress 2.3 after a week or so from Wordpress 2.3’s release. What delayed my upgrade was my problem with my webhost account where I can’t log in to my FTP. But now it’s fixed and I upgraded as soon as I got home from work today.
Basically, I just followed my own guide for upgrading wordpress 2.3 and it all went well without any problem. \
Also, I found these two plugins that claim to upgrade your wordpress automatically (that means no more manual replacement of files, and other stuffs). I will post them for references only. Try them at your own risk.
If you have any problems regarding your wordpress upgrade process, please do not hesitate to ask me. ^_^

I will schedule a blog maintenance tonight, October 5 so if ever you get to read this or it’s down when you checked it out, you will know why.
I will be upgrading my wordpress to version 2.3. It’s going to be a tough process but I hope I can finish this ASAP. Thank you.

This is a message to all the blogs that I frequently visit.
Lately, you may have noticed that I have not been visiting nor commenting on your blogs as usual. This is not because I grew tired of reading your blog but this is because I am still adjusting to my new life. For the sake of everyone, I recently got a job which started last October 1, 2007. This job requires me to go to the office from 8am to 5pm. I leave the house at 7am, and leave the office at 5pm to 6pm. When I go home, I get stuck in rush hour so I usually arrive at the earliest 730pm tired from traveling.
I still read your blogs. Although I can’t anymore read it as often as I can (daily), I will still read it. I will be late for a few days but I will read it eventually. ^_^
And now for some link love to the blogs I read (those on my google reader)… Read the rest of this entry »

Perhaps you’ve already learned how to schedule your posts for the future and you have been using it to your advantage. Now you won’t have to worry if you have days where you had lots of ideas to share or days where your brain has nothing but cobwebs.
However, when you schedule your post to be published at 9:00am, does your blog really publish them at 9:00am?
Why does wordpress publish my post on a different time that I scheduled?
For example, I want to publish my posts at 9:00am in the Philippines so in the Post Timestamp I set the time to 9:00am. However, my post gets published at 5:00pm which is eight (8) hours after. Why does this happen?
This is because that the default wordpress time is set to GMT (or UK time as I was informed) so all your scheduled timestamps will be posted at GMT. A post at 7am will be posted at 7am GMT time and a post on 3pm will be posted at 3pm.
So if you want to publish the post at 9am Philippine time (GMT +8), you should set your wordpress time to Philippine time and schedule your post to 9am. If you did not set your wordpress time to Philippine time, it will be posted at 9am GMT rather than 9am GMT +8.
