It hurts. Sometimes.
Oh, so it was. While changing the layout, I peeked around at the WP tables and decided to ‘merge’ a couple of older MT-related categories with the appropriate ones. To my surprise, I noticed that the rowcount (or, the number … Continue reading

Burnt WordPress
Talking about burnt: it looks like WordPress is pretty much acting up with a couple of ‘SQL-errors’ on my side. They happen to appear around the time I press the ‘Save’ button. WordPress returns the following error: UPDATE IGNORE wp_posts … Continue reading

Recent links and that
I‘ve installed the ‘wp-recent-links’ plugin and officially ‘retired’ my own homebrew stuff that formed the ‘Elsewhere’ links. I’ll be working on a solution to get most of them ‘into’ wp-recent-links’ table structure. For now, I’ll be recycling some of them. … Continue reading
