Upgraded Wordpress
We’ve finally upgraded Wordpress (the engine powering this blog) to the latest version (2.1 from 2.0). We’ve been very happy with how it works thus far, though we’ve noticed that our trackbacks never seemed to be going out. It’s been a nagging problem for some time now, and finally it’s been fixed.
Part of the problem, really, is that we could receive trackbacks from other sites without problem, but sending them out never seemed to work. Adding the URLs to the Write Post page would never show them as being successfully sent, for some reason. And, to make matters worse, tracking down what the problem actually was didn’t seem possible: Wordpress doesn’t keep good logs, for some reason.
The lesson here is: when in doubt, upgrade. And perhaps have better logs. And never forget to back everything up.

As a followup, we had to upgrade our Wordpress yet again, just several days later due to a security vulnerability found in Wordpress 2.1. Check out http://wordpress.org/development/2007/03/upgrade-212/ for details.
