Critical Updates

1. Having resided on the same server for over four years, my entire hosting account has been migrated to a new, faster Linux box. The new server features an Intel Xeon quad-core 3.20 GHz with 2 GB memory and by every indication it is blazing fast. All the same, please report any abnormalities you may discover.


2. Upgrade Primary CMS to WordPress 2.7.1, fixing nearly sixty-seven reported issues.


3. Upgrade Gallery CMS to Coppermine 1.4.20, fixing seventeen reported issues.


4. Continuing RSS feed refresh issues have been traced to two sources: the draft/revision features of WordPress and how RSS feeds are regenerated after updates. I disabled all draft/revision features to fix annoyances on the administrative side and to prevent old articles from appearing as new in the RSS feed after the post is viewed in edit mode. To stop article updates from regenerating the RSS feed and showing old posts as new, the WP Minor Edit plugin is now employed.

Code, Theme and Feature Updates

1. Various minor code updates and visual revisions.

Outstanding Issues

1. UPDATED: I have discovered several cross-browser issues with Internet Explorer incorrectly rendering certain page elements. This issues will be resolved during the next upgrade cycle, since they are cosmetic in nature (and I do not have to look at them using Firefox). Three specific items: ordered list spacing is too compressed; blockquote padding and coloration are wrong; and comments are indented.
