Did the usual manual upgrade of upload, extract and update db. Starting with 2.7 (I was on 2.6) automatic updates are supported, so hopefully upgrading will be even simpler next time. The new version is now fully installed and looks great. The new admin UI is easy to use and works fast as promised. The WordPress team really deserves a big congratulations!

As I have some posts with a nice amount of pictures, I decided to make my blog “Cooliris enabled”. Overall, the process is pretty much straight forward. You basically need to add a Media-RSS link to each post. I found an excellent Wordpress plugin, which adds the proper Media-RSS: piclens plus. So now if you have Cooliris installed you can view my posts using Cooliris. This is probably most relevant for the ‘Fun’ section posts.

Some issues I am still trying to work out:

  • Multipage support doesn’t seem to work for me. I want to be able when entering the ‘Fun’ category to open Cooliris and browse all posts in this category. From what it looks like the rss links are being added fine, but I can’t browse the posts. I am not sure if this is a problem with the client I have installed or with the web page. Currently, I suspect the client. As the example site Cooliris provides with multipage support doesn’t seem to work for me too. I posted a question on the Cooliris Development forum. Will followup if help comes from the forum.
  • Video is not browsable via Cooliris. In general, the cause for this is the lack of support for Google video. It looks like YouTube videos are supported. I plan to use YouTube for my next post with video. So I expect future posts should be video compatible with Cooliris.

Update (March 15, 2009):
I actually recently noticed that when viewing images on my blog via the lightbox 2 JS plugin the second image viewed fails. There is some collision between lightbox 2 and piclens light. I disabled from the piclens-plus plugin the lines which include the piclens light css and javascript and it seem to work fine now.

Disabled the following lines of code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="' . wp_piclens_base_uri() . '/piclens.css" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="' . wp_piclens_base_uri() . '/javascript.php"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://lite.piclens.com/current/piclens.js"></script>

So here is the link to my: Technorati Profile.
