Upgrade to WP 2.1.3 completed, condition all green. Please let me know if you notice any problems. Had tweaked my link colours under the K2 style.css to better match the Lunamaria banner, had used a different colour naming convention (#NNNNNN) instead of the default (NNN) and didn’t realize that there was a problem with the vlink colours until Skane kindly pointed it out.
Hold-overs from the domain transfer have also finally been fixed. My Zaku favicon hadn’t been showing up and only just fixed the relevant link rel lines in the K2 header.php file which had been pointing to the old domain. Gravatars (which started accepting new signups again in Feb) were not being cached either due to an inappropriate permission setting for the cache sub-directory which has since been fixed. Had found the Comment Timeout plug-in useful in mass-closing the comments in the old blogs while both old and new domains were still up during the transition period. Still using it, currently set at close comments on posts older than 60 days or without a comment for 30 days whichever is later. The amount of spam has dropped considerably. Speaking of which, upgraded Spam Karma to 2.3. The average karma of my approved comments is a mind-blogging -20,000 (as opposed to an average karma of about -1,785 for spam caught)! But since spam is still being eaten with no false positives, I’m not tempted to dive into the SQL database to try and fix it.
Loads of other new plug-ins too. Had replaced <?php get_links_list(); ?> with <?php wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’);?> in sidebar.php to implement My Link Order. Finally switched the URL for my Google Analytics account over to new domain, got Google Analyticator to add the GA javascript to every post/page in the blog, added Feedburner and implemented WordPress Reports.
