http://www.awayfromreality.com/articles/tag/typo en-us 40 It's Not All Glamorous <p>It might seem odd that I would be excited by a <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2007/09/wordpress-23/">new release</a> of <a href="http://www.wordpress.org/">Wordpress</a> given that this site runs on <a href="http://www.typosphere.org/">Typo</a> 4.1.1. Trust me, you wouldn&#39;t be wrong... however, <a href="http://www.netstumbler.com">NetStumbler.com</a> is running on Wordpress and this new upgrade includes some new features that look more than interesting.</p><p>Last night I actually upgraded this site from Typo 2.5.6 to Typo 4.1.1. All that took was a simple &quot;rake db:migrate&quot;, oh the beauty of <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Rails</a>! My Wordpress upgrade won&#39;t be nearly as tidy.<br /> </p><p>The only reason that I am considering an upgrade is that the Wordpress team has included import tools to migrate tags from various existing tag plugins into the new native tag engine. NetStumbler.com is currently using <a href="http://www.neato.co.nz/ultimate-tag-warrior/">Ultimate Tag Warrior</a>, but hopefully not for much longer. </p><p>I also can&#39;t wait to see the new <a href="http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/wordpress-23-canonical-urls/">Canonical URLs</a> in action. It looks like a graceful solution to an ugly problem, and with 3500+ posts on NetStumbler.com tracing their origins back from two complete CMS migrations I know that there are at least 100 posts that this would effect. </p> Tue, 25 Sep 2007 10:02:00 -0700 urn:uuid:d9ea04eb-7560-4d5a-8c0e-149d27342156 Wayne Slavin http://www.awayfromreality.com/articles/2007/09/25/wordpress-2-3-released-native-tagging-arrives Development Business Wordpress Typo http://www.awayfromreality.com/articles/trackback/65
