The latest wordpress 2.5.1 is a whole new experience for Wp blogger. I’ve resisted using wp2.5 as I find it complicated. Well, not until my birth of 2nd blog- bookswonderland
My very first error with wordpress 2.5.1 was “Not able to read Chinese character”. A MySQL character encoding problem. It seems to be my default Fantatisco installer install me a “latin1″ instead of “utf-8″. I had to fix it from my phpadmin. A risky place for dummy. Anyway, got my friend Shuyun to solved.
So this second error disappointed me. Gets this error shown from picture above.
- HTTP error, please try it again.
Lucky not hard to solve. My solution learn from Image/Media Uploader problems The steps are as below.
- FTP download .htaccess
- Open it in notepad. Paste this below.You can get the text file here.
- Save and upload/replace the original.
- Close browser and restart browser
Well, not every user gets the same solution. You could try in a different method if you can’t. Here is one from nineteenhundredandyesterday
If you have any problem, just bug me at my comment corner.

This is a wordpress log file for my own reference learned from Mark McLaren in his post at WordPress Tutorial-How to Position and Image and wrap Text Around an image Using Wordpress
To position an image on the Right, place this code
< img style=” border: 0pt none; float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px” src=”images/anything.jpg” …/>
Type the whole code in code mood. You can find it next to Visual tab. Do make sure no space between ‘<’ and ‘img’ . I had to make a space to read the code here. If you want to link image to a site. just place in the < a href=” ” > in front and </a> at the end of the whole code.
Get back to Visual mood and click on the insert/edit image icon set it align to Right.
Next, To position an image to the left, place in this code instead;
< img style=”border: 0pt none; float:right; padding-left:10px; padding-bottom:10px” src=”images/image.jpg” …/>
The rest the same as i’d mention above.

I was awarded for a new custom theme from Blogohblog.com on the 1st of January 2008. I was so honor. Jai had promise me to send it during Chinese New Year. As time passes, my neck is sour; nothing came by.
I had chase him with plenty of emails, plugoo chat and comments. No reply yet.
Had he forgotten me? :sob:
Our last conversation was a few weeks ago where he told me he had already send it and ask me to check my mail box/ junk mail to be sure. I had check them alternate days. but nothing comes from him.
We later lost contact. He might have piss off. But dear, I didn’t receive anything at all. How could that be? He didn’t send me the theme at all.
Please … oh please… do get back to me Mr Jai.
