I have always been a WordPress fan. In fact, two of my self-hosted blogs are under this blog hosting platform including the breathtechnology.com.
I have always been satisfied and happy with its features, particularly, because it’s user friendly — easy to manage and manipulate. I compare it with using a Nokia cellular phone which everyone knows how to use. To sum it up, my blogging experiences were defined by WordPress.
Two weeks ago though, wordpress prompted my other blog to upgrade its wp version. I had no choice but to upgrade. In the process, I lost the articles and widgets I wasn;t able to  backup before the upgrade. I did not know I’m in for more woes because of the upgrade.
What I love about the new wordpress is that it allows you to install your plugins and insert photos and videos without using a third-party ftp program. Very convenient and it saves bloggers time. After the upgrade though, I realized something must be wrong with the installation as after the 2.8.2 upgrade, I can’t upload photos anymore and install plugins without using a third-party ftp software. To add to that, I was very disappointed with how the widgets works. Everytime I install a new widget, I have to manually save one-by-one every widget in the sidebar as each widget should be saved separately. In the old versions, widgets are not saved separately so in just one click, you can save everything in you sidebar(s). It’s exhausting to manually save every widget (14 clicks if you have 14 widgets) whenever you add or remove one in your sidebar. I even panicked when I first experienced this unwelcome change when my widgets were gone after adding a new one in my sidebar.
I believe I’d be experiencing more “flaws” as I get myself familiarized with WordPress newest versions. I hope I’m wrong. What about you, do you have any stories about using WordPress?
