The much anticipated Wordpress 2.5 upgrade has been installed and is working away to power this blog. There shouldn’t be any changes on the front end, but let me know if anything looks off. My cynical friend among many, took the time to highlight some of the improvements.
One of the things I had hoped to do after the upgrade was install the Popularity Contest plugin which would generate a list of the most trafficked posts. Unfortunately for me, that plugin is not working correctly with the new version yet. So I’m just going to guess.
From monitoring my stats and eyeballing the numbers, rankings and search terms that bring people here, these are what I think are the most popular posts from my first eight months of blogging:
- Lapp it up: Pamela Anderson’s Finnish heritage
- the pop secret is out–microwave popcorn is super easy to make
- watch the Boondocks
- in search of the perfect travel backpack
- reservations about Anthony Bourdain in Hawaii
- supreme master moomin vision and the muumibuumi
- the overwhelming cuteness of twin baby Bengali tigers born different colors
- Barack Obama- Yes We Can
LoL@the hodge-podge of subjects. I can’t guess beyond the top 8. The traffic on the popcorn post was probably the biggest surprise, tho it seems to be done popping now. Note to self: write more about health scares. More celebrity mentions, too. And of course nude, nudity, bikini, lap dance and similar keywords will always attract a certain element. An element that will meet sudden disappointment when they find out “Moomin” is not sex-related. I was surprised my first (test) post on baby tigers still gets a lot of hits, I’ve underestimated the power of da cute.

I did manage to add a plugin by Alex King to make jeelago.net wireless friendly and it works like a charm! Im posting this from my phone
one caveat: the wireless plugin apparently adds advertising to the mobile browsing experience. I found it disorienting to be on my own site and seeing an ad for Soulja Boy Ringtones! Get it Now!
aaah, also: Hot wallpaper for your C810 (Duo) !! the internet is just so creepy sometimes…
wow you are so cutting edge, you upgraded to WP 2.5 already! I am still rockin the 2.3.3, waiting for all the bugs to get worked out in the 10+ plugins I use before upgrading. Although that admin interface looks faboo!
The coolest thing I’ve seen in the upgrade is the ability to post more photos and videos - so get to it! (j/k)
hehehe… like all WP upgrades, the 2.5 one is EASY and honestly, you want to do it before someone hacks the old install. Unless it affects your audio player plugin (which obvs is key for you) I say do it asap, my blogging sistren!
ur right tho, my photo album lookin a lil stale…. hmmmmmm…. soon?!?!?
