Upgraded to Wordpress mu 2.6
Atlast we have uploaded Blogial Network blogs to Wordpress mu 2.6 version. Previously we were running on the 1.5 version and now mu’s version number is bumped up to match the version number of the single user one. It now has all the features as that of the original Wordpress 2.6 version
Upgrading the site was very easy. I just followed the steps for the upgrade process specified in the documentation (there is no mu specific written yet). Just replaced all files inside the wp-admin, wp-includes and the root folder with the new files and then ran the upgrade.php script. Of course I did a backup of the database before all that, but didn’t have any problem with the plugins.
I hope there are no hitches after the upgrade. If there are any, please send an email and we would sort it out ASAP. Hope, the authors are happy with the new features that they gain from the upgrade.
Suggest ideas for Blogial
Yesterday while reading the Stack OverFlow feed about their beta release, I came to know about a service called UserVoice. This is a really useful website which can be used to get feedback from users about your product, website or blog.
I immediately thought of using it to ask people for their ideas for any new blogs and what kind of stories they want to read more from the network.
The site is really simple to use. These are the things that will happen:
- People submit their ideas
- They can also vote up for their/other’s ideas
- They can discuss about the ideas and comment on other’s ideas
- The site/product owner will see all this activity and realise the true need of their users. He can then answer the queries for all users and take necessary actions.
So, you too can contribute your ideas and changes that you wish to see in the Blogial. Just go to the Blogial uservoice site and post your ideas. We will listen to you and will make sure that your ideas are implemented.
