If you see a few bumps in this blog in the next week or so it’s because I’ve upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress and have de-installed and am re-installing all the plug-ins and software that makes this amazing bit of software work.

So far it has been seamless (insert sound of Doug reaching for something wooden and saying “touch wood”) and the little bit of software (plug-ins) have even been automatically upgraded. Let’s here it for that little touch of easy installation! But as I’ve been taught in the old school of upgrading, you upgrade and then install each plug-in separately and test-test-test so that you know which one messes things up. So far so good. :-)

The fun thing is that I’ve just finished doing a bit of research into “comments” and the plug-ins that will make this blog even more functional for readers.

What you can look forward to - removing the “nofollow” tag. If you don’t know what this is, stay tuned as I give you all a bit of link-love.

A plug-in that will automatically give the last title of *your* blog so that when you make a comment here and somebody reads your comment, you get an ad in the comment section for folks to go and read your blog. Make a comment here in my blog and I’m going to try to help you drive traffic to your blog. This means of course that I’m going to be ever-vigilant in deleting spammers and folks who are just trying to collect links.

And more!

I think the entire “comment” section of garden blogs has been really ignored and under-used so far. My research says we can do better. So I’m going to try. And I’m sure you’ll let me know how it’s working out for you.
