New Layout / Wordpress 2.3

I was getting tired of my old blog layout so I decided to change it up to this one. It isn’t completely done yet though. I’m going to change some of the font colors so everything will match up more. The old theme had a lot of quirks and always shrunk pictures after I posted them. I’m glad this theme seems to be working well. I also downloaded Wordpress 2.3 yesterday and I’m happy to say that everything went well! It’s a nice change from 2.1. Just remember to backup everything before you upgrade just in case. Luckily I didn’t have to restore anything because the upgrade worked perfectly. Now I just have to figure out how to use this “tag cloud” option that came with 2.3.

Update: I spoke too soon. As soon as I posted this blog I got this error:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘databasename.wp_post2cat’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM `wp_posts` p LEFT JOIN `wp_post2cat` pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN `wp_categories` c ON pc.category_id = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = 'publish' GROUP BY cat_ID

Luckily the entry was posted okay and readers aren’t seeing any problems. It’s still annoying for me to see that after posting each entry. I’m going to have to see how I can fix this. It looks like it’s a problem with the categories even though they seem to work fine. Anyone else run into this problem after upgrading?

2nd Update: I figured it out. Google Sitemaps does not work with 2.3. At least the version I am using. So I had to deactivate the plugin. Now everything seems to working perfectly.  (crosses fingers)
