Aus der Tatsache, dass Shuron’s Letters auch mit Hilfe von Wordpress publiziert werden ergeben sich interessante Synergieeffekte. Ich lese sein Blog und er meins, und wir suchen beide nach sinnvollen plugins unabhängig voneinander. Die Suche scheint und die Auswahl der Plugins scheint nun doppelt so schnell voran zugehen, weil unser Geschmack in Bezug auf “sinnvoll” wohl sehr ähnlich ist. Dank Shuron’s Einleitung unterstützt mein Blog nun auch mehrsprachige posts mit Hilfe des Polyglot Plugins.

In order to be able to track the technology impact on this page, I introduce a new About page, that reveals the technological background of this site. I will also publish about the customizations I execute.

And I wish all of you a happy new year!

Using some hints from Shuron’s letters I upgraded my Wordpress to actual version. As described in Update your wordpress with one click, I also used WordPress Database Backup plugin. In addition to a single upgrade operation, it also supports scheduled backup of the entire database. After the update I installed a new theme and nice Bib2HTML plugin. Using that I updated the business and research sections, filling the list of own publications and of supervised works.

During the creating of the first “Live Writer”-Post, the following error occurred.

When using Windows Live Writer (Beta), I received the error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripProgressBar.Increment(Int32 value)
at SmilingGoat.WindowsLiveWriter.Flickr.InsertFlickrImageForm.imageProcessor_ProgressChanged(Object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
at System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker.OnProgressChanged(ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
at System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker.ProgressReporter(Object arg)

The error pops up on flickr image insertio with size changed to small.

Nevertheless I’ll let the product installed on my machine and will test it further. The reason for that is the support of tags and Flickr-images…
