Technical issues

I’ve finally had the time to install a weather plug-in. If you don’t see it on the right of the page, something’s gone wrong ;-)

No big issue with the installation of the plug-in. But there was quite an issue once I had the php file copied down. I hardly managed to get into the WordPress administration screens. Warnings such as

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at …/wp-content/plugins/getweather.php:2) in …/wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php on line 220

had me scratching my noggin for quite some time. The resolution is quite simple: ignore the “on line xxx” comment in the warning and examine the file mentioned in the ouput started section instead. So, my issue had nothing to do with pluggable-functions.php line 220 but rather with getweather.php line 2. I had mistakenly added a blank line before the php tag. At the same time, I upgraded to WordPress 2.0.2 – only 81 or so days late! And activated the Akismet plug-in to combat those bloody spam comments. Not bad for a bit of blog maintenance!

Next is the well-deserved switch-over to a new theme. That may take another 30 days or so ;-)
