Fix for ScribeFire not working with Wordpress

I have been trying to get ScribeFire working with my wordpress blogs for several months now. I have gone to the support page for ScribeFire and seen that many people are having this same problem.

I found the fix today!!!

For the impatiant the fix is to add SecFilterEngine Off to your .htaccess file location that your xmlrpc.php file is.

If you want to know how I figured this out read on…

Blue Angels high speed/low level passes

My step-dad sent me a link to some great photos from the ‘07 San Fransisco Fleetweek including lots of pictures of the Blue Angels recently. At the bottom of this page was a link to a you tube video of a few REALLY low level high speed passes by one of the Blue Angels. Hope you enjoy.


My Upgrade to Wordpress 2.5

I have successfully upgrade my site to Wordpress 2.5.  It was actually quit easy.  I simply downloaded it from here.  Moved the zip file onto my server.  Unzipped it into site/wordpress (the default location).  Disable all my plugins.  Deleted all files and directories under site/wp-admin except my .htaccess.  Deleted all wp-*.php files from site/ as well as wp-includes, except the wp-config.php.  Deleted the default and classic themes from site/wp-content/themes as well as the akismet and hello dolly plugins from site/wp-content/plugins.  Made a backup of my database.

Then I moved all the wordpress files into the production locations by executing the following commands.

  • from site/wordpress I ran mv * ../    this moved everything except wp-admin and wp-content
  • from site/wordpress/wp-admin I ran mv * ../../wp-admin.
  • from site/wordpress/wp-content/themes I ran mv * ../../../wp-content/themes
  • from site/wordpress/wp-content/plugins I ran mv * ../../../wp-content/plugins

Then I went to my site in firefox.  I was asked to upgrade the database.

That was it.  Now I have the nifty new admin interface!!!

Did this for 4 sites in about 1 hour.
