Well, after running with ALL options in the wp_options table set to no for autoload for about 3 days, I can say it doesn’t really make much difference. If anything, there may be a slight decrease in performance, but nothing broke that I could see, and there really wasn’t a significant difference in memory usage [...]
Well, in a bid to see if Wordpress really needs to preload all those options set to autoload, and to see if it makes a difference on the memory consumption I detailed earlier. I’ve set them all to “no” on this site so nothing is autoloaded. If you encounter any problems, please let me [...]
Wordpress is a Memory Hog
Did you know Wordpress is one major memory hog? No? Neither did I until I started getting “500 Internal Server” errors after having my hosting account at Joyent moved from FreeBSD to OpenSolaris, with it’s resource management functionality being used to it’s full extent.
You’ll be surprised to hear this appears to be a [...]

Unfortunately, as a side effect of [...]
In an attempt to tidy up my backend Wordpress databases, I thought I’d change the Wordpress table prefix and the move all my Wordpress tables into a single database.
Before actually moving the tables, I took the plunge of just renaming them by changing the table prefix to uniquely identify which Wordpress installation they belong to.

Pedantic Wordpress
09Apr07Why oh why is Wordpress to pedantic about it’s plugins? I’ve just spent the past hour scanning code and disactivating/activating plugins trying to work out why when I enable a single plugin, nothing is shown on my site. The cause - a bloody empty line at the end of said plugin. Why does this matter?
Wordpress 2.1.3 Breaks is_home()
I spent the best part of this morning upgrading Wordpress on this and my personal site. My personal site upgraded without any problems (that I’ve noticed), however I encountered problems here.
