I recently upgraded my blog to Wordpress 2.5. The manual process is real cumbersome. Today I came across few plugins which help in almost automating the upgrade stuff.

Wordpress Automatic upgrade: As per description this plugin first takes backup and then upgrades. I didn’t try this one, though.

Instant Upgrade: I upgraded one of my blog using this. It doesn’t take care of backup but otherwise the upgrade was super smooth. Just few clicks and you are done.

Happy upgrading !

Just finished upgrading to Wordpress 2.5. Everything seems to be working fine.

Another issue I just came to know that wherever i am using syntaxhighlighter to format the code, it doesn’t display properly in Internet Explorer. May be something to do with the plugin. Will try to fix it. It works fine in Mozilla.

I registered on Twitter and my page is http://twitter.com/amardeep_sidhu

I came across a post about syntax highlighting for code in Wordpress on Thomas Roach’s blog who in turn saw it on Tyler Muth’s blog. There is a plugin called syntax highlighter which does all the beauty. Use is very simple:

Download it from here.

Upload to your blog’s plugins folder and extract it over there.

Now (on Wordpress) go to Plugins page and activate the plugin.

To use it wrap your code like

and you are done.

Wanna see, how does it look like

SQL>drop database;

Isn’t beautiful

Well, it was in my mind for some time, to register my domain name and finally its here . I have imported all the posts from my blog on blogger. I will be checking and editing all the posts for any kind of issues with wordpress. If you see anything out of the way do let me know
