Since WordPress 2.7, there’s one option at “Publish” section to enable “sticky” post for public visibility. However, there’s no options to support “sticky” attribute for private post. One quick walk-around to make private post “sticky” is to set a “future” publish date. It is not so clean, but works for the purpose.
There are a few plugins to support “sticky”, but not all of them works well for WordPress 3.3. The “sticky manager” plugin works now and then, but it is not stable.
By default, the mail() function in PHP does not wor in goDaddy hosting environment, so the wordpress servers wont be able to send emails to users or as backup. There are a few pre-requisites while a webmaster tries to fix the SMTP setup for goDaddy hosting.
Do take notes that goDaddy SMTP will not allow attachment as ZIP, the only way to send website backup is to encrypt the attachment. The plugin “Online backup for wordpress” does a perfect job for it.
魔法一：改变你的想法
美国心理学之父威廉·詹姆士对时间行为学的研究发现这样两种对待时间的态度：“这件工作必须完成，但它实在讨厌，所以我能拖便尽量拖”和“这不是件令人愉快的工作，但它必须完成，所以我得马上动手，好让自己能早些摆脱它”。
当你有了动机，迅速踏出第一步是很重要的。不要想立刻推翻自己的整个习惯，只需强迫自己现在就去做你所拖延的某件事。然后，从明早开始，每天都从你的工作清单中选出最不想做的事情先做。
My adsense was activated a few days and managed by “Adsense Manager” plugin from wordpress. Interestingly, the ads appears well on Internet Explorer 6/7, but does not work for Firefox. What’s available on the internet all suggests some javascript conflicts, however it does not apply to my case.
回头看自己的Blog，从2003年在TLL使用MovableType，到后来转到Mambo/Joomla，直到现在的wordpress。比较起来，Joomla用在建站上值得，我投入学习的时间也没有白费。做博客还是Wordpress最方便。
写的零零碎碎，接起来确实六年的成长历程。人生的积累真是惊人呀。坚持实在是一种美德。
The auto-upgrade function in wordpress 2.5 is very useful. However, by default it does not runs on my installation. After spending some time reading its code, the fix it relatively easy.
There’s a bug in flash-based image upload for wordpress 2.5. All the temp fix using .htaccess does not work for my site. There’s workaround to disable flash-based tool using a plugin no-flash-uploader. I am still waiting for official fix coming in 2.5.1
WordPress released ver 2.5 today. The upgrade is quick smooth by following the guide here. Just note that wp-contents and plugins/themes folder inside should be handled with special care (i.e. copy the content, instead of just the parent folder).
OK. The site has been moved obviously. The template is still default, but I have moved all the contents successfully using some tools on line, and with basic plugins such google analyst and google sitemap already available for WordPress. My site operation should be affected much.

One of my Linux servers running RHEL3 has stange process-being-killed problem for the last a few weeks. The automount process turned out to be killed by OOM-killer in linux kernel when the system runs out of memory.
