Sites at Lafayette has been updated upgraded to WordPress 2.8.x. This was a security update, and doesn’t include any major new functionality. One side effect of the upgrade is that sites that have an apostrophe in their title (e.g. Joe Smith’s Web Page) now have a backslash in them (e.g. Joe Smith\’s Web Page). You can remove the backslash by logging in and going to the “Settings” page for your site, clicking the “General” link, and then editing your site’s name where it says “Blog Title”.
We’ve also updated the Google Analytics (statistics tracking) and Powerpress (podcasting) plugins to their latest versions. Unfortunately, we also needed to remove a plugin: the Slideshare plugin (used for sharing online presentations via Slideshare.net) is broken, and has been deactivated.
