During that time I have used blogspot.com, wordpress.com and now my own wordpress install. The main thing that has made me move from platform to platform is gaining more and more control over my blogging experience. With that said as of late I have been having some really problematic wordpress bugs.

  1. Wordpress republishes my rss feeds when I edit my posts
    I expected this was being caused by the Simple Feed Copyright plugin so I have disabled it. I had a reason for installing it but I would much rather be able to edit my posts and I’m not so sure how bother I am by other sites ripping my content (I would still rather they did not however). Despite my best googling efforts I have still not solved this problem.     Any ideas? Update: Yup this seems to have solved it!
  2. Wordpress is no longer emailing me when someone comments on my blog
    Google did get me more information on this problem. But I have still not been able to solve it. Whenever someone comments on my blog I would like to be notified by email. Any ideas?

About my Setup

If I left out anything let me know. Hope you guys can help me.

I love the new interface. As well as updating in response to all the websites stealing planet Ubuntu content I am going to try using the ©Feed plugin for wordpress. So we will see how that goes and I hope the plugin is not to invasive for people.

I am also loving playing with the Hardy Heron Beta and am looking forward to upgrading all my machines when it officially comes out.

In other news my girlfriend has now been using Ubuntu since Christmas and has promised to help me write a post about her experience.

Edit: I have nothing against other sites hosting my posts as long as I get a backlink.

My problem was that despite how much I searched, and everything I tried, I could not keep the formatting and post the source code. The formatting was wrong when I used the <code> tags (The spaces where removed and in python that’s important).

It turns out that this was the most correct with the exception that befor you make your post you must go to Users then Your Profile and make sure “Use the visual rich editor when writing”
is unselected instead of [sourcecode language=’css’]…[/sourcecode] you are going to want to have [sourcecode language="css"]…[/sourcecode]

[sourcecode language="python"]#This
#is an example
#of what your source code will look like
x = True
if x:
print ‘hello world’[/sourcecode]
