Typo Blog Upgrade Finished 1
The long promised blog system upgrade as performed yesterday morning. From your perspective it mostly looks the same. From the author and management side, it appears completely different.
What’s new and good?
- The new admin pages look and feel is nice.
- The speed should be improved for users
- RSS feeds – I have more control
- New authoring editor is WYSIWYG – that’s fine when you author in the tool, not so much when you author outside and expect markdown, textile, or some other markup langauge to be available. I haven’t determined how to us those.
- Old articles were easily migrated, but the more parts of articles aren’t currently being displayed.
- Old article markdown is working, as far as I can tell.
- LiveSearch is broken. 2 hours of searching for a solution was not fruitful.
- Lots of 500 Server Errors have been seen. More on this later. Seems it is a SQLite3 timeout causing it. A workaround exists.
I’m happy to be on a new blogging platform.
I’m happy to be able to allow other authors a platform to blog. Let me know if you are interested. Any spam-like entries will be dealt with harshly.
I’m happy with the moderation system for comments. It doesn’t seem much different from the old version.
