Bogus agents, WP2.5, simple upgrades and more…
The latest newsletter has just been sent…
Happy April Fool’s… and nope, no pranks this year, although I see that there were a few ‘take-offs’ around the blogosphere from the one I did in 2006. 
The big news for affiliate bloggers this week was the release of Wordpress 2.5, which I talked about in Chomping at the Bit for Wordpress 2.5 and Wordpress 2.5 Officially Released.
I also posted a short piece this morning about Upgrading Wordpress with Fantastico in response to a comment from Evelyn who ended up with ‘weird characters’ on her blog after one such attempt. (Evelyn, it’s not nice to talk about your visitors that way!)
There is also some blog design instruction at How to Correct Bulleted List Errors with CSS and
Have You Updated Your ShareThis Plugin?.
I took issue with something I’ve seen too much of late and posted Agent is Typing… My Eye along with suggestions for a better way of doing business.
Yanik was broadcasting Live Feeds from the Underground® where you can see Marlon Sanders and a whole raft of attendees who attended the seminar. (LUCKY them.. I’m still choked that I had to miss it!) If you missed it too, oyou can pre-order a set of the Underground® 4 recordings (DVD & Audio and workbook) before it goes on sale to the general public — or until 11:59 PM on Friday April 4!
In affiliate program news I posted Chitika Announces a New Way to Monetize Parked Domains and Sell Products to Spanish Markets through Clickbank
Because I’ll still be pretty much housebound for a while, I’ve reduced my consulting fees until May 1st. Wanna chat?
Speaking of housebound, there’s also a little blurb about last Saturday’s Earth hour in Lights Out on Google. We played rummy… what did you do?
Last but not least, I’d like to send a special thanks to Rita Ashin who informed me about a few spelling and grammatical errors on the Super Affiliate Handbook homepage. Just think how much nicer the web would be if everyone took the time to help out another webmaster… not to mention how it’s good karma too! Thanks Rita!
P.S. Stay current by getting the Feed or visit the Blog and share your thoughts, comments and suggestions in the Forum. Always love to hear from you!

Upgrading Wordpress with Fantastico
Evelyn Grazini commented on upgrading Wordpress with Fantastico yesterday, saying “One word of warning though for those who upgrade. DO NOT do it through Fantastico in your cpanel“.
Although it will probably be a couple of weeks before the new Wordpress 2.5 release shows up in Fantastico, I’m more than happy to wait for it and do the installation from there. (I did a manual installation of the new version to another blog, so I still get to play with it in the meantime.)
I do however take a few precautions when doing the upgrade through cPanel and Fantastico, and have never had a problem. First, I make sure that the database has been backed-up and then revert to the default theme and de-activate all my plugins. Once the update has been installed, I change back to my current theme and re-activate the plugins one-by-one, making sure that each works as it should.
If the prospect of ending up with a ‘bunch of weird characters’ (or worse) still has you worried, there are detailed instructions on the Wordpress Codex about how to do a backup and upgrade your Wordpress installation manually.
