Wordpress upgrades and more
So I’ve made a few upgrades to slaggle.com over the past few days. One major one is a change in backend architecture. We’re now running on nginx + fastcgi + php instead of apache2 with the php module. The site is running a lot quicker now and I’m excited about it. The ultimate goal is to migrate to mephisto running on Ruby on Rails, but I need to test out database migrations first.
I also upgraded to the latest Wordpress after feeling the sting of a spammer exploit. Someone managed to inject their own text into a frontpage post when I was on Wordpress 2.1! My mind was boggled, so now I am doing even more due-diligence to make sure the blog software stays patched.
With the migration to 2.5, I’ve switched to a pre-fabbed theme for now, which reflects the direction I’d like to start going with my sites. I’m starting to dig red for the primary color instead of the drab blues and greens.
