A freshly stirred Cauldron with new features

The keen-eyed among you who regularly visit my blog (and whose visits I am always grateful for) will have noticed big changes this week. No more minimalism, in three words. I got bored of all the white space. Forgive me if you liked it but change of all kinds is said by some to be the very reason for, and motivating engine, of existence. Go with the flow, I say.
I truly hope everyone visiting The Spicy Cauldron likes the changes. Here’s a list of them:
- A snazzy new Lijit Search box at the top of the right sidebar allows you to not only search the blog for articles you want to read, but also rummage through my stuff on Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, and other social networking sites.
When plugins and WordPress collide: oh, the horror!
Apologies for my online absence over the past several days: I’ve effectively been locked out, unable to access the admin tools to write anything. Every single time I’ve upgraded my installation of WordPress over the past six months I’ve found myself having to deal with one or more plugins apparently, in the first instance, causing problems. I say ‘apparently’ for a reason: read on!
Sadly, it’s not often the case that the plugins stop working—that would make things a lot easier when it comes to identifying what’s gone wrong—but instead the usual problem is that the administrative menus slow down to such an extent that the majority of functions become unusable. The question is, can we always assume the plugins are to blame? Indeed, is it at all fair to blame the plugins or WordPress itself?
