LiewCF.com Upgraded to Wordpress 1.5 and Changed Path
Filed in: Site News, WordPress — April 21st, 2005
Finally, I decided to upgrade LiewCF.com to Wordpress 1.5. I was planning to wait ALL the plugins that I use in WP 1.2.2 to be upgraded to version 1.5 before I upgrade the blog script.
However, seems like I can’t wait anymore, the comment system of WP 1.2.2 does not work correctly recently - permalink page cannot be displayed if there is comment.
I installed WP 1.5 into another directory (/blog), copy and upgrade the WP 1.2.2 database. Everything works fine, including the comment system.
Therefore, I decided to officially upgrade LiewCF.com. Upgrade is easy, but the later work like redirect all previous paths to current is a bit tricky.
Also, I need to search and install suitable Wordpress 1.5 plugins, add top navigation menu, forum, etc.
Ahh… and Google Adsense! The income drop alot in these few days…

Looks odd now not having your right navigation bar. I think it’s easier to navigate with the old bar on the right

seems like u took away the google search box. btw i suppose ur google adsense revenue all came from search instead of adsense ads? never noticed any ads displayed…

@red: no, google search does not even give me $1 per month! Since the WP search can return more accurate result(do not need to wait Google to index the pages), I decided to remove google search.
you don’t see ad? Maybe your browser’s ad block has blocked Google adsense.
April 22nd, 2005 at 12:15 pm
he he he, thast the killing feature of firefox. blocks 99% of ads.
April 22nd, 2005 at 12:15 pm
anyway, thankz for the plug ins… appreciate it.

@cchiuyi: come one~ read the ads to support me!
April 22nd, 2005 at 12:39 pm
he he he he, honestly, i do click on links that suits me. as long as it suit me. i’ll click. i don’t block GAds. co its relevent.
i signed up for mor ethan one year, and my total is not even close to USD$10.. cry. :

ermm i could see adsense ads on my gmail with firefox though. same thing with ie, couldn’t see adsense ads either, i wonder why -_-
how come google search didn’t give u even $1 per month? i thought mentioned u received 100+ from them for the first and second month. did u mean those are all from the ads instead of the search?
April 22nd, 2005 at 3:31 pm
@red: I hate your browsers.
Ya, the 100+ were generated from webpage ads, not from ads in search.
Note: visitor search using Google adsense search does not generate any revenue. They still need to click on the ads in search result page to give you income.

yep i know about the click on search thing
lol i’m trying to figure out what happened to my browsers, i remember i could still see google ads on sites, just recently i realized i see none except on gmail and google itself, seems like the javascript got blocked out by something, couldn’t be my antivirus though.
so yeah i hate it too coz i can’t see it, didn’t even realize i chose the wrong display format for my adsense until i asked a friend to checked few mins ago
April 22nd, 2005 at 9:43 pm
it gets interesting though, i notice i couldn’t load the adsense javascript http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js , can’t even access http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/ (i get connection is refused message) while i could if i use one of the anonymous surfing service on the web. could u manually load the javascript? if u could then i guess that’s my problem, weird but true.

anyway, figured out what’s wrong and solved the problem

Personally, I never use more than a single link in the comment I post because doing so can trigger spam catchers if the user has that plugin activated, whereas a single link will not.
