I read this post below and somehow I have to agree to what it says that blogs have become impersonal. Even though the majority of blogs are not among the Technorati’s Top Lists, most of us approach blogging as a platform to publish well researched and thought-through articles, and hardly posting our spur-of-the-moment thoughts. How many of us use the ‘blog it’ nowadays?

For a change, I’m using ScribeFire for this post

Impersonal is correct: Scroll down Technorati’s list of the top 100 blogs and you’ll find personal sites have been shoved aside by professional ones. Most are essentially online magazines: The Huffington Post. Engadget. TreeHugger. A stand-alone commentator can’t keep up with a team of pro writers cranking out up to 30 posts a day.

Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin is such a relief for many considering that Wordpress keeps on coming on with new versions and updates frequently. I had it installed on two of my blogs, this and India PR Blog.

However, of late, wherever I tried to run an upgrade on both the blogs using the plugin, a blank page would appear during the process, between step No. 3 or 4 or somewhere in between. I had to start afresh again many times and weren’t able to figure out what went wrong until recently when I disabled all the plugins before I start the upgrade process. Viola, it worked, on both the blogs.

Although the Automatic Upgrade plugin also has a step as part of the upgrade process, in which it disables all plugins, I guess doing that manually doing it yourself before the process starts was quite worth it. Anyways, you can now select all plugins at once on the Wordpress dashboard and activate/deactivate them all together at once. So there is not much effort required at all.
