			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have a blog or site and you would like to promote it, but it has not been indexed by the search engines yet.  What would you do then?  Well, the simplest way to get your blog or site get promoted is to submit it to several search engines like Google and Bing, formerly MSN Live Search.  The question now is how are you going to get <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> and <a href="http://www.bing.com">Bing</a> index your blog or site.</p>
<p>I wrote about this topic, on how to get indexed by Google and Bing search engines at ProBlogit.com but I will discuss other sites too.  Basically the method is the same for the blog to get indexed by both Google and Bing.  I discussed at ProBlogit.com how <a href="http://www.problogit.com">ProBlogit.com</a> got indexed by Google and how <a href="http://www.sofiehofmann.com">SofieHofmann.com</a> got indexed by Bing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/blogging/20090623/how-to-get-indexed-by-google/">How to get indexed by Google</a>?  Submit your site to Google.  Join Google Webmaster Tools and add your blog or site.  Write content often and link the blog entry from another blog internally and externally.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/blogging/20090702/how-to-get-indexed-by-bing/">How to get indexed by Bing</a>?  Submit your site to Bing.  Join Bing Webmaster Center and add your blog or site.  Write content often and link the blog entry from another blog internally and externally.</p>
<p>Another site that got indexed by Bing is this site <a href="http://www.sehdi.com">Sehdi.com</a> which was considered by Bing not valid when I added the site at Bing Webmaster Center.  I have the impression that because Sehdi.com is being hosted in Switzerland, it was considered invalid at the time when I added it on June 24, 2009.  Other sites are being hosted in the United States, so there was no problem adding it to Bing Webmaster Center.</p>
<p>Despite not being able to add the site at the Bing Webmaster Center, Sehdi.com was still indexed by Bing.  It was already crawled and indexed before but this time more pages appeared at the search results just like SofieHofmann.com.   All I did was, I just submitted the site to Bing.  I wrote content for Sehdi.com but not so often.  Despite the irregularity, Bing and Google have indexed the site and blog regularly.</p>
<p>Another site especially its two recent blog entries that I wrote the other day and yesterday that got indexed by Google fast was <a href="http://www.pandan.ph">Pandan.ph</a>.  Considering that I did not even link the two blog entries from any other blog.  The two blog entries appeared on the sidebar though of SofieHofmann.com and that was it.  Other than that, I did not do anything.</p>
<p>When I checked Google today with keywords &#8220;pandan police&#8221;, the blog entry <a href="http://www.pandan.ph/news/2009/06/30/pandan-police-arrested-former-policemen-suspected-of-robbery-in-buruanga-aklan/">Pandan police arrested former policemen suspected of robbery in Buruanga, Aklan</a> appeared first on the first page of the Google search results.  I also used other keywords such as &#8220;pandan cops&#8221;, &#8220;aklan robbery&#8221;, &#8220;buruanga robbery&#8221; and the blog entry appeared on the first page of the search results.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/2009/2009-07-indexed-by-google-1.gif" border="0" width="400" height="180" class="cpic" alt="Get Indexed by Google and Bing Search Engines" title="Get Indexed by Google and Bing Search Engines" /></p>
<p>Then I checked Google with keywords &#8220;pandan drag race&#8221; and the blog entry <a href="http://www.pandan.ph/videos/2009/07/01/2nd-invitational-calixto-zaldivar-iii-motorcycle-drag-race-cup-2008-in-pandan-antique/">2nd Invitational Calixto Zaldivar III Motorcycle Drag Race Cup 2008 in Pandan, Antique</a> appeared also first on the first page of the Google search results.  I also used keywords such as &#8220;calixto zaldivar&#8221;, &#8220;pandan invitational&#8221;, &#8220;pandan motorcycle race&#8221; and the blog entry appeared on the first page of the search results.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/2009/2009-07-indexed-by-google-2.gif" border="0" width="400" height="180" class="cpic" alt="Get Indexed by Google and Bing Search Engines" title="Get Indexed by Google and Bing Search Engines" /></p>
<p>Pandan.ph was already added a long time ago at the Google Webmaster Tools.  It just goes to show that even if you do not submit your blog entry to Google again as long as Google already made a habit of crawling and indexing your blog, then your blog will appear in Google any time and in this case the latest blog entry was indexed by Google within 12 hours.</p>
<p>I just did not check it right away yesterday after I wrote the latest blog entry at Pandan.ph, so I really have no idea when did really Google index that particular latest blog entry.  I just learned about it after 12 hours when I checked Google today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally finished upgrading <a href="http://www.problogit.com">problogit.com</a>, <a href="http://www.sehdi.com">sehdi.com</a>, <a href="http://www.sofiehofmann.com">sofiehofmann.com</a>, <a href="http://www.weggis.net">weggis.net</a>, <a href="http://www.pandan.ph">pandan.ph</a>, tugbong.pandan.ph, <a href="http://www.pagtatap.org">pagtatap.org</a>, psap-parola.org, <a href="http://www.isyu.info">isyu.info</a>, <a href="http://www.patria.isyu.info">patria.isyu.info</a> and <a href="http://www.semirara.isyu.info">semirara.isyu.info</a> sites and blogs from WordPress 2.7.1 to <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/06/wordpress-28/">WordPress 2.8 Baker</a>.  A lot of bugs have been fixed but I guess not everything.  There will always be something that will be left behind.</p>
<p>I encountered a problem and that is with regard to the <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/02/26/upgraded-to-wordpress-271-and-encountered-a-huge-problem/">Wordpress 2.7.1 gallery code problem</a> which I already encountered when I upgraded the blogs and sites from WordPress 2.7 to WordPress 2.7.1.  To resolve the problem, I just followed what I wrote regarding the <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/03/13/solution-to-wordpress-271-gallery-code-problem/">solution to WordPress 2.7.1 gallery code problem</a>.  Other than that, everything went fine.  There were definitely a lot of improvements at the new released WordPress 2.8 Baker.  Below is a quick video overview of the improvements at the new released WordPress version.</p>
<div class="center"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="280" src="http://v.wordpress.com/Pu3T4X8l" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></div>
<p>One remarkable thing that I also noticed was upgrading using the built-in automatic upgrade is now possible with my web hosts here in Switzerland.  I had a problem before using the WordPress automatic upgrade which I also mentioned when I <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2008/12/13/upgraded-to-wordpress-27-coltrane-host-compatibility-problem/">upgraded WordPress 2.6.5 to WordPress 2.7 Coltrane</a> because of the safe mode restriction. Although the safe mode is still on, I was able to upgrade the blogs and sites hosted at my web hosts here in Switzerland by just supplying the FTP details.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/2009/2009-06-19-automatic-upgrade-ftp.gif" width="480" height="260" border="0" class="cpic" title="Upgraded to WordPress 2.8 Baker" alt="Upgraded to WordPress 2.8 Baker" /></p>
<p>I did not see anymore those function error notices every time I attempted to use the WordPress automatic upgrade.  I do not know if it was corrected on the part of my web hosts or on the part of WordPress.  I checked the fixed tickets but I did not find the appropriate discussion about it.  Nevertheless, if ever it was on the part of WordPress, thanks again WordPress people!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finished creating a new theme, a new fluid two-column WordPress theme for <a href="http://www.isyu.info/">ISYU.INFO</a> which went online on May 1, 2009.  I actually had no intention to do it last month but ever since I finished the web designs for <a href="http://www.semirara.isyu.info/">Semirara Dumpsite Issue</a> and <a href="http://www.patria.isyu.info/">Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue</a>, I just thought that I have to make use of the domain name isyu.info.</p>
<p>And so, ISYU.INFO Around the World was born.  ISYU.INFO is a micro-blogging news site, and it could also be your daily news resource around the world. ISYU.INFO is a micro-blog where I write about just a few of the world news and issues that I have read on a daily basis.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/web-isyuinfo-v1.gif" border="0" width="260" height="200" class="mpic cpic" alt="Fluid Two-Column New WordPress Theme for ISYU.INFO" title="Fluid Two-Column New WordPress Theme for ISYU.INFO" /></p>
<p>I already did a fluid one-column <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> theme for this micro-blog within just a day but eventually changed my mind and came up of this fluid two-column theme which I was able to finish within 3 days because of so much revisions from fluid one-column theme.</p>
<p>There is only one layout for this micro-blog, wherein the main content is on the left side and the sidebar is on the right side.  The width is not fixed that is why this is a fluid two-column WordPress theme.  But just like how I designed the other fluid WordPress themes, the width of this blog may not be fixed but it was also limited to 900px so as not to expand the content if the screen resolution of the browser is bigger than 1440&#215;900.</p>
<p>As usual, this site using a fluid two-column theme was tested at Safari 3, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Opera 8.5, Opera 9.2, Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 with screen resolutions like 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024 and even bigger than 1280×1024.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yahoo! announced last week that it will be closing GeoCities later this year after 10 long years of providing free web hosting.  Yahoo! GeoCities is no longer allowing new customers to sign up for GeoCities accounts.  Yahoo! GeoCities will provide more details about its closing and how to save your site data, if you have any, this summer.  More information is available at <a href="http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/geocities/geocities-05.html" target="_blank">Yahoo! Help Center</a>.</p>
<p>It was with Yahoo! GeoCities when I first experimented designing websites.  I created my first homepage in 1999 with GeoCities which was just acquired by Yahoo! then.  I remember having that long url and I was never able to memorize it.  Despite that, I created four more homepages for different purposes.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/web-gopandan.gif" border="0" width="260" height="200" class="mpic cpic" alt="Pandan Antique HomePage" title="Pandan Antique Homepage" /></p>
<p>The five homepages that I created with Yahoo! GeoCities are still existing.  They will exist until Yahoo! GeoCities closes down all GeoCities accounts and websites later this year.  I still maintain the websites at Yahoo! GeoCities but I have not been updating them for quite a long time since I bought my own domain names.  I already have removed some of the pages and redirected them to the new domain names.  Some of the pages, instead of redirecting them, I just put a note about the new domain name.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/web-pandanantique.gif" border="0" width="260" height="200" class="mpic" alt="Pandan Antique Information Site" title="Pandan Antique Information Site" /> <img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/web-pandanantiquelawa.gif" border="0" width="260" height="200" class="mpic" alt="Pandan Antique Lawa" title="Pandan Antique Lawa" /></p>
<p>I actually just maintain the websites as they rank high at Google if you search using the keywords &#8220;pandan antique&#8221;.  It used to rank high with the keyword &#8220;pandan&#8221; but ever since I stopped updating them, the rank at Google also changed.  You will still see those homepages only at the second page and once in a while at the first page if you search Google using the keyword &#8220;pandan&#8221;.  But if the keywords are &#8220;pandan antique&#8221; they are still on top of the first page.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/web-ciefosh.gif" border="0" width="260" height="200" class="mpic" alt="A World of Inspirations" title="A World of Inspirations" /> <img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/web-sofiehofmann.gif" border="0" width="260" height="200" class="mpic" alt="Sofies Creations" title="Sofies Creations" /></p>
<p>I have not included my Yahoo! GeoCities free-hosted homepages in this site but when I heard that Yahoo! GeoCities will be closing, I might as well include them here and just put a note later that they are offline once they are not viewable anymore.  They are very simple and all were designed using HTML.  Remember, its free-hosting at Yahoo! GeoCities.  <img src='http://www.sehdi.com/home/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SofieHofmann.com was down for more than six (6) hours today.  I was not sure what was happening as the other sites being hosted with the same server were and are fine, online and can be viewed unlike SofieHofmann.com.  So I contacted Dreamhost support team.  I guess people were still sleeping in the United States when I wrote so I got a reply a little bit late.  Nevertheless, thanks to the support team of Dreamhost, I was able to fix the problem.</p>
<p>What happened?  Well, it so happen that both Yahoo and Google were crawling SofieHofmann.com at the same time as what Patrick, the support guy from the support team pointed out and I never realized it.  It was true because I also checked the raw.log file.  He asked me to check &#8220;Goodies&#8221; and try to block or limit some search engine bots accessing the site.</p>
<p>Well, I already have a robots.txt file but have not updated it for quite some time now.  When I checked my robots.txt, the list of folders inside that file were actually outdated.  It never occurred to me that my robots.txt file was already outdated. I forgot to update it when I revised SofieHofmann.com.</p>
<p>So I uploaded the newly updated robots.txt file and used the Goodies as well.  Just when I finished uploading the robots.txt file and filled out some stuff at the &#8220;Goodies&#8221; where &#8220;Block Spiders&#8221; is located, SofieHofmann.com was fine again.</p>
<p>What did I do? I just disallowed search engine bots to access the images and other folders by writing the name of the folders at the robots.txt file.  Then, at the Control Panel of Dreamhost, at &#8220;Goodies > Block Spiders&#8221; section, I did not check what search engines to block but specified which directories to block from every spider.  I also specified the file extensions to block from every spider.  Yes, from every spider.</p>
<p>I do not really mind if the images at the site will not be crawled or indexed by the search engine bots.  It is enough for me for the search engine bots to crawl the pages, the articles, and the blog entries.</p>
<p>How to disallow the search engines bots accessing some of the folders?</p>
<p>I just created, actually updated the text file called robots.txt and wrote the following:</p>
<p>User-agent: *<br />
Disallow: /faq/<br />
Disallow: /cgi-bin/<br />
Disallow: /images/</p>
<p>In your case, if you would like to add more folders, just add them.  I specified some more folders too.  I just did not write everything at the example above.</p>
<p>Then I uploaded the file at the root folder.  The asterisk (*) for the User-agent here means any spider, regardless if it is Yahoo, MSN, Google or whatever. I would like to limit all the search engine bots crawling the images folders and the other folders at the site, no exception.</p>
<p>When two big search engines are crawling a site at the same time, this is using up all the site&#8217;s connections and driving up the memory usage.  For me, not allowing the search engine bots to crawl the images folders as I really have a lot of pictures at the site is not at all a problem.</p>
<p>The problem was so simple and it was such a discomfort not to be able to access the site.  And I did not even realize that the solution was that simple too.  If you have the same problem, well, check your robots.txt file.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.semirara.isyu.info/">Semirara Dumpsite Issue Website</a> (NO TO SEMIRARA DUMPSITE! &#8211; Antique Philippines) was first designed way back in March 07, 2001 to July 01, 2001 after the people&#8217;s victory protesting against the proposed semirara dumpsite in Semirara island, Caluya, Antique, Philippines. The site has not been redesigned since early 2001 and was rarely updated when the landfill was not pushed through in Semirara island.</p>
<p>As the site was designed using simple HTML just like the <a href="http://www.patria.isyu.info/">Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue Website</a>, I decided to redesign it using PHP for easy updating purposes.  But instead of using simple PHP, I use WordPress as CMS (Content Management System) so the site can be easily and regularly updated.  The updates may not be about the issue itself but at least they will be most likely related to the issue concerning garbage problems especially in the Philippines and other topics related to it.  The other updates may not be about the issue itself but will still have something to do with Semirara island and its current problems.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/web-semiraraisyuinfo-v2.gif" border="0" width="260" height="200" class="mpic cpic" alt="New WordPress Two-Column Theme for Semirara.isyu.info" title="New WordPress Two-Column Theme for Semirara.isyu.info" /></p>
<p>The old site used one layout only.  The newly redesigned site uses one layout too.  The new web design is not exactly the same with the old web design as the sidebar at the old web design was at the right side and the main column for content was at the left side.  Other than than, nothing really changed except for the PHP scripting programming language used.  The old HTML web design was just converted into a new <a href="http://wordpress.org/" target="_blank">WordPress</a> theme with fixed width and two columns, but this time, the main column for content is on the right side and the sidebar is on the left side.</p>

<p>The site was tested at Safari 3, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Opera 8.5, Opera 9.2, Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7, even tested it with screen resolutions like 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024 and even bigger than 1280×1024.  Everything looks fine at all the browsers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.patria.isyu.info/">Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue Website</a> (PATRIA! THE UNDISCOVERED PARADISE! NO TO DIESEL POWER PLANT!) was first designed way back in November 22, 2002 to December 22, 2002 at the height of the protest against the proposed diesel power plant in Patria, Pandan, Antique, Philippines. The site has not been redesigned since then and was rarely updated when the issue somehow ended in early 2003.</p>
<p>The site was designed using simple HTML, and so when I decided to redesign it, I use PHP for easy updating.  But instead of just using simple PHP, I use WordPress as CMS (Content Management System) with this site.  I especially use <a href="http://wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a> so the site can be easily and regularly updated from now on.  The updates may not be about the issue itself but at least they will be most likely related to the issue concerning diesel power plants and other topics related to power and energy, and most especially probably about alternative energies.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/web-patriaisyuinfo-v1.gif" border="0" width="260" height="200" class="mpic cpic" alt="New WordPress Two-Column Theme for Patria.isyu.info" title="New WordPress Two-Column Theme for Patria.isyu.info" /></p>
<p>The old site used one layout only.  The newly redesigned site uses one layout too.  The web design is actually still the same, nothing really changed except for the scripting programming language.  The old HTML web design was just converted into a new WordPress theme with fixed width and two columns, having the main column for content on the right side and the side bar being situated on the left side.</p>
<p>The site was tested at Safari 3, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Opera 8.5, Opera 9.2, Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7, even tested it with screen resolutions like 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024 and even bigger than 1280×1024.  So far, everything looks fine at all the browsers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started writing for another blog at <a href="http://www.problogit.com/">ProBlogit.com</a>.  The blog is all about my new problogging venture.  I created a new WordPress theme based on this web design site, Sehdi.com, and my personal site, <a href="http://www.sofiehofmann.com/">SofieHofmann.com</a>.  The WordPress theme is a fluid three-column theme as the sidebar has two columns.</p>
<p>I actually created this fluid three-column theme last year just within a day as the CSS of Sehdi.com and SofieHofmann.com was ready and available.  Just a few tweaks and after a few hours, the ProBlogit.com WordPress theme was all ready for online viewing.  The blog and the WordPress theme has been online since January 1, 2009 but I did not write anything about it until I started problogging at ProBlogit.com on April 2, 2009.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/web-problogitcom-v1.gif" border="0" width="260" height="200" class="mpic cpic" alt="Fluid Three-Column New WordPress Theme for ProBlogit.com" title="Fluid Three-Column New WordPress Theme for ProBlogit.com" /></p>
<p>The site has one layout, the main column for the content is on the left side and the sidebar with two columns is on the right side.  As usual, since the <a href="http://wordpress.org/" target="_blank">WordPress</a> theme is a fluid three-column theme, I have to make sure that it will look good on different browsers.</p>
<p>ProBlogit.com which is about <strong>Problogging Venture Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions</strong> was tested at Safari 3, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Opera 8.5, Opera 9.2, Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 with screen resolutions like 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024 and even bigger than 1280×1024. Despite its fluidity, as usual, the width was limited so as not to expand the main column for the content if the screen resolution is bigger than 1440×900.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I tried to find a solution to the <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/02/26/upgraded-to-wordpress-271-and-encountered-a-huge-problem/">WordPress 2.7.1 gallery code problem</a>.  I checked some templates first but I was not able to identify the right one.  So I searched the web and I found the solution from this blog entry, <a href="http://www.emmanuelgeorjon.com/en/probleme-avec-wordpress-271-1329/" target="_blank">Problem with WordPress 2.7.1 and images</a>.</p>
<p>I was looking into several templates like link-template.php and post-template.php but did not think about the post.php file.  With his solution, I was able to solve my problem that I told you in my previous blog entry.</p>
<p>This was the PHP function wp_get_attachment_url at WordPress 2.7.</p>
<pre>function wp_get_attachment_url( $post_id = 0 ) {
	$post_id = (int) $post_id;
	if ( !$post =&#038; get_post( $post_id ) )
		return false;

	$url = '';
	if ( $file = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wp_attached_file', true) ) { //Get attached file
		if ( ($uploads = wp_upload_dir()) &#038;&#038; false === $uploads['error'] ) { //Get upload directory
			if ( 0 === strpos($file, $uploads['basedir']) ) //Check that the upload base exists in the file location
				$url = str_replace($uploads['basedir'], $uploads['baseurl'], $file); //replace file location with url location
		}
	}

	if ( empty($url) ) //If any of the above options failed, Fallback on the GUID as used pre-2.7, not recomended to rely upon this.
		$url = get_the_guid( $post->ID );

	if ( 'attachment' != $post->post_type || empty($url) )
		return false;

	<code>return apply_filters( 'wp_get_attachment_url', $url, $post->ID );
}</code></pre>
<p>If you read the blog entry where I found the solution, you will see there the present PHP function wp_get_attachment_url at <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/02/wordpress-271/" target="_blank">WordPress 2.7.1</a>.</p>
<p>I just commented (using // before each line) the following four lines which was added or included or inserted at the PHP function wp_get_attachment_url at the post.php when WordPress 2.7.1 was released.  You will find post.php file under wp-includes folder.</p>
<pre>elseif ( false !== strpos($file, 'wp-content/uploads') )
				$url = $uploads['baseurl'] . substr( $file, strpos($file, 'wp-content/uploads') + 18 );
			else
				$url = $uploads['baseurl'] . "/$file"; //Its a newly uploaded file, therefor $file is relative to the basedir.</pre>
<p>That&#8217;s it.  That&#8217;s the solution to my gallery code problem.  Thank you, <a href="http://www.emmanuelgeorjon.com/en/" target="_blank">emmanuel-georjon</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I upgraded 2 sites a long time ago but it prevented me from upgrading the other websites.  I had one huge problem, other than that everything went fine during the upgrade.  But it was and is a major problem which I just cannot ignore.</p>
<p>I have a problem with the gallery feature at Weggis.net.  When I upgraded from WordPress 2.7 to WordPress 2.7.1, the &#91;gallery&#93; code is not returning the right upload path.  I am not using wp-content/uploads upload path.  I have different folders for 2006, 2007 and 2008 pictures.</p>
<p>At present, the upload path should be wp-content/files/images/2009 but it is not the case.  The pictures can be viewed in 2009 but the pictures in 2006, 2007 and 2008 cannot be viewed if I use the upload path wp-content/files/images/2009.  The pictures are just there but they cannot be viewed using the &#91;gallery&#93; code.  The &#91;gallery&#93; code is calling the upload path of the supposed to be present upload path wp-content/files/images/2009 for all the pictures including those in 2006, 2007 and 2008 folders instead of wp-content/files/images/2006 for 2006 pictures, wp-content/files/images/2007 for 2007, and wp-content/files/images/2008 for 2008 pictures.</p>
<p>As I have already upgraded to WordPress 2.7.1, and I don&#8217;t like to downgrade to WordPress 2.7, I decided to upload all the photos via FTP to wp-content/files/images without the year just to remedy the problem.  I changed the upload path from wp-content/files/images/2009 to wp-content/files/images.  Using the path wp-content/files/images, site visitors can view all the photos in 2006, 2007 and 2008.</p>
<p>The problem is, I would like to upload photos this 2009 at wp-content/files/images/2009 but doing that, site visitors will not be able to view the photos temporarily while I am uploading the photos at wp-content/files/images/2009 as the upload path is of course wp-content/files/images/2009.  After uploading the pictures, I need to upload the photos again via FTP to wp-content/files/images to duplicate the photos in wp-content/files/images/2009.  Then again, I have to change the upload path from wp-content/files/images/2009 to wp-content/files/images so all the photos can be viewed regardless of the year.</p>
<p>For the meantime, I am doing this process so that when the gallery will be fixed, it will return to normal just like when the site was still using WordPress 2.7.  I had no problem with the gallery code with WordPress 2.7.  The problem only occurred when I upgraded to <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/02/wordpress-271/" target="_blank">WordPress 2.7.1</a>, and  I don&#8217;t think that it has something to do with the WordPress Plugins.</p>
<p>I have a suggestion though regarding the upload path.  There is this option under Settings > Miscellaneous where we can organize uploads into month- and year-based folders.  Why not include year-based folder only without the month folder?  Then we do not have to change the upload path every time the year changes.  I actually would like to use the option &#8220;Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders&#8221; but for me, the month-based folder is not necessary.</p>
<p>Can WordPress add a year-based only folder option?  Will this option require a lot of programming and changes to the core codes?  I am not a programmer so I really wouldn&#8217;t know.  I hope they will try to look at this option.  I am crossing my fingers.  <img src='http://www.sehdi.com/home/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
