Upgrade underway
WordPress 2.5 has just been released today (Mar 29). As the site has been running on 2.0.4 for quite some time now, I think it is time to upgrade to a new release soon. So starting Monday, the site will be intermittent for a few days.
While fine tuning will no doubt continue in the next few weeks, I hope everything will go smoothly and the major functionalities will be up mid-week next week!

Well, I basically just follow closely the instructions layout in the “Upgrading WordPress” document found in the wordpress.org:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress
The only troublesome thing is my theme. It was built (by someone) with a lot of deprecated functions. In order to update it, I need to go through the “Template Tags” page in WordPress Codex and check function by function and see what each of them is “Replaced With”:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags
For example, I was using get_links() to echo out the links in each category in my sidebar. But this function is now replaced with wp_list_bookmarks(). I was a little confused first because I did not know that “bookmark” is essentially the same as “link”. But after some trial and error, everything works quite well now and I am able to get the information the exact way I want as before.
