Wordpress 3 and multisite support

I was loking forward to see wp3 multisite system. Unfortunately I hoped to get one backend administration site for many blogs where I could mix content between blogs. Multisite support is not for that purpose. It just ables many completely separate blogs to use with single wp installation. So I could as well copy my blog folder and database to get the same outcome.

If you are still going to enable wp3 multisite feature, read the installation instructions vary carefully cause the installation settings are not reversible. Pay attention whether you select sub-domains or sub-directories installation. I didn’t and I end up messing the installation. Cause of that problem my blog was under some sort of attack or at least target of spam. I wouldn’t have notice that if my sites monthly bandwidth transfer hasn’t rice like stockbroker’s dream.

Multisite feature installation mess my blog and able some hackers to misuse of it.

Luckily I had backup ;)

I spent 2 hours for trying to make order for fairly simple cruise product for 5 person.

Worst thing of order form was the awful javascript which went into some sort of everlasting loop if you jump from any date field into some date field or into some passport number field. Everlasting loop was switching pointer focus between fields so fast that it was impossible to do anything. Refresh or submit didn’t help cause somehow the looping continued.

Second problem was that the dates were in different format when you read them from the screen (12/31/2010) and what you should input into fields (31/12/2010).

Third problen was that user wasn’t able to input any skandinavian letters.

Fourth problem: Product field had 2 choices (standard produt / auto package) which I didn’t know what to choose but the default value (auto package) returned “unknown error” message.

At the end I was able to make the order but I was so ready to give up and buy a cruise to Stockholm.

“I would say it’s already one of the best finnish online services”

Service seem to work like a charm and the connection to bank was flawless and really easy.

Service looks great and it’s fun to use. What more can you wish for.

Problem:

Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 does not seem to respond all the source code changes every time.

Example:

Even if I have already fix an error and build solution the same error still exists.

Neither cleaning or rebuilding solution or restarting development server have any affect.

Workaround

Only thing that seem to help beside restarting Visual Studio is cleaning and then building again web project.
