Good day all, this is the Angry Systems Administrator. I’ve been rather quiet of late, mostly keeping my head down and grinding away in our Data center.<\/p>\n

Anger Central’s blog was upgraded to version 5 over the weekend, (And version 5.01 was just released), and we’ve been learning how it works. To begin with, they built in a new editor, and honestly, it sucks.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, someone came to the same conclusion and they’ve built in a plugin called “Classic Editor.” That’s another word for “Really old and not shiny new editor for you old farts because you aren’t cool.” (Yeah kid, but us old farts are utterly ruthless too)<\/p>\n

One of the things I’ve hear about the new versions of WordPress was that they were going to remove the built in comment system and force you to go the third party route. We use Disqus, so normally that would be a moot point, however we’ve always liked having the internal comments section available if we wanted to go back to it. I just did a preview and it looks like they haven’t removed that feature as yet.<\/p>\n

On the advertising front, Amazon. They recently killed the old CPM advertising system and now use something they call Native Shopping Ads. What I think they’re doing is looking for ways to generate sales without actually paying commissions to small blogs such as ours.<\/p>\n
