Our mothers have been there for us throughout our whole life and touched our hearts. I could never ask for another mom!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t spend the day with my mom today. I will though get to see her in a couple weeks! I have talked to her on the phone multiple times today, and even make sure you call your grandmas and tell them Happy Mother’s Day too! 

Now, what did you get your mom today? or if you are a mom what special present did you get today? Also, do you have any special traditions you do with your family??

Now here is a special youtube video tribute I found to all the moms.

This has just been a week with problems! I just recently upgraded iJohnw.com over to the new Wordpress 2.5. It offers a visibly improved back end for managing blogs. The upgrade only took a few minutes and it was successful. The best new feature I love so far while I was playing around with it is the automatically upgrade your plugins you have installed! Man does that reduce a heck of a lot of overhead!

Now the biggest problem right now with Wordpress 2.5 is media uploader for the new and improved gallery. I have no idea where it went?! After reading the forums over at Wordpress.org, it looks like many people are having the exact same issue as myself. So is this first bug in Wordpress 2.5? The above image (thanks to http://jeanegan.com/ for the image) shows where the image uploader should be located.

I have noticed one more thing. In the RC1 for 2.5, there was an add category option when you are writing a post. I see that has disappeared too. Is that something in the new Wordpress 2.5? or another bug?

Is anyone else having this exact same issue? Is there a fix for it yet?! HELP!

Update 1 Hour Later: I have found the plugin that is causing this problem. Unfortunately, it was one of the plugins I love! ViddlerCompanion was giving me those issues as described above. I am going to have to email them and let me know, and for now I <3 Wordpress 2.5! Also, thank you Otto for your suggestion on figuring out how to solve this problem!

The awesome folks over at Viddler have been busy working on a plugin for Wordpress blogs! Their new plugin allows you to record video for a comment instead of writing! I just installed it, and it is up and running great! So what do you have to do?

Click on Record or choose a video at the bottom of the comments for the post, log into Viddler, and start recording your own video comments!

If you want this plugin on your blog, visit the Video Companion Plugin from Viddler on their Wiki.
