BLOG.ianuy.com is now running Wordpress version 2.8! Remind me to never update Wordpress again! I also upgraded all of my plugins to the latest version.
Wordpress 2.8 Upgrade, Pain in the as*
A number of things had gone wrong during the upgrade:
- During the automatic upgrade of my plugins, some of them didn’t restart succesfully on their own so I have to manually activate them agian.
- Some widgets were removed. Needed to re-add it manually again (Most Viewed Widget).
- My custom smiley was erased. Need to re-upload them again.
- The Wordpress editor (TinyMCE Editor) font had defaulted back to its original font (Times New Roman, 12px). This is frustrating because I totally forgot how to set the editor font. You need to manually match the editor font to the blog font to have the WYSIWIG effect. (For my future reference, the settings are in wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/skins/wp_theme/content.css . You need to click “Save Draft” after making the css changes to see its effect!)
- After upgrading to Wordpress 2.8, I checked to see if IE 8 will display the site properly (thankfully it did!). However, I noticed that my blog is now serving ads from specificclick.net! (I wasn’t able to notice the pop-up ad from Firefox because I’m using Ad Block Plus). At first, I thought that my friend’s hosting service / contract has changed and is now injecting ads into my blog (talked to him and he said that he hasn’t done anything). Then, I suspected that one of the plugin owners got broke and decided to sell ads thru their plugins… So I deactivated all plugin to no avail. So then I suspected that Wordpress 2.8 might be serving the ads (how pathetically stupid of me, Wordpress wouldn’t do that!). So after a few hours of searching, I found out that SiteMeter is the one who is serving unsolicited ads from my site! (Don’t worry kids, I already replaced the JS code with the HTML code to block the ads. More info about the scandal here.)
I have also added the Global Translator plugin (see footer) to boost traffic. (Hey, not everyone can read Engrish! 
)
I haven’t checked every function of the blog yet. So if you find something that looks broken, please hit the comments! Thanks! 
PS (totally unrelated): Yuri is so freakin’ cute! New SNSD single out on June 25!

hehe
I take a part of my comment back…. I just logged-in into multiply and saw your reply on my comment there regarding the DNS errors. So yeah, maybe your site wasn't blocked, but the cookies and scripts were. maybe…. lol
Yay! Its great that you can now access my site. It only means that the DNS change has already propagated.
Well, actually, I'm still having DNS errors the past weeks, but I can access your site from time to time. and I guess the DNS is now fine since I can now access your site w/o a hitch.
Regarding the Specific Click thing associated with Site Meter, maybe that's the reason why I can't load your site from time to time. I have passively protected my network using DNS filtering to block sites that are serving spyware, including scam and spam sites. So everytime the cookie is requested from the sites, you whole blog gets blocked… apparently. or was silently blocked by giving me a DNS error where it should have presented me a block page which I told it to do.
So now, I can access your site since the cookie is no longer being set to my network.
