one of the only reoccurring problems I have with Wordpress is with the Automatic Upgrade feature.
As the Wordpress team continues to push out point-releases that address security, stability, etc, having the automatic upgrade feature is a huge time saver. However, whenever I clicked on “Upgrade Automatically” I was being greeted with an error message like:
“Fatal Error: Allowed Memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted”
Frustrated, I typed the error message into “the google” and came across Chad Johnson’s excellent post addressing the cause of the problem. You should read the full write-up over here, but here’s the quick summary:
The error message is a result of WP using up it’s allocated memory. By changing the amount of memory set aside for WP, you alleviate the problem. Simple, eh? Here’s how you do it:
1. Open the file “wp-settings.php” found in your WP root directory
2. Find the line that says ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’
3. Change the 32M to 64M
4. Save, upload, and upgrade automatically with ease.
Thanks to Chad for the tip and for saving me just a little bit of my sanity.

so I’ve been taking a break from real-life by playing with my blog’s design. considering that so much of what i do these days on the web has less-and-less to do with “traditional” blog posts and more to do with twitter, facebook, flickr, etc., i figured the time was right for a change.
while the main blog content is still the “traditional” type, a good percentage of the site is dedicated to aggregating everything i’m doing around the web and wrapping it up in a pretty package.
comments/suggestions/criticism are always welcome…

duane storey has written, and recently updated, a “must have” plugin for anyone using Wordpress and Flickr called Crossroads.
after installing the plugin, a simple HTML call is all that’s needed to make any individual flickr images—or entire sets—displayed below a blog post in javascript-enabled thumbnails.
Incredible stuff! Keep up the good work, Duane.
