There Goes My Traffic

Last week I reported that the upgrade to Wordpress 2.6 didn’t go as planned. Well, the upgrade went fine, but it seems that there’s a permalinks bug. The ‘old’ URL’s won’t work, so I have to cope with a “?p=449″ notation of the links to my posts. A direct consequence of this is that everybody using a search engine to find stuff on my blog ends up on my website, but not on the page with the actual article.

From over 600 pageviews per day a week ago, there’s a small 40 a day left :-( .

It may be that the new Wordpress 2.6.1 Beta 2 solves this issue, but it may also break other things. Let’s hope they release the next (working) version yesterday.
