When trying to upload new images to Wordpress, the Flash Uploader would not open at all. That is, clicking on “Choose Files to Upload” has no effect, while it worked perfectly before. I have updated Wordpress from Version 2.5. to 2.6.2. as well as Adobe Flash. Trying to solve that problem, I realized that the Flash Uploader has dozens of problems and hacks solving them. I tried some of them and finally found the following quote in the depths of the Wordpress support forums:

Update your Adobe Flash to the latest version (esp you Linux users!): Flash.
NOTE: NOT TO VERSION 10. The new Flash version 10 is incompatible. The latest version 9 of Flash is what you want.

So if you encounter a similar problem and image upload is so important to you that you can do without the newest version of Flash, apply the Flash Uninstaller and install Flash 9 from Adobe’s software archive.

Ruby on Rails was the first popular framework that strongly simplified this process. Releasing the webapp, however, is still sophisticated, as obtaining a fast, stable and scalable Rails application requires some webserver configuration.

But now, even the deployment of webapps has become dead simple – if you use the brand new Google App Engine. You just develop your application in python using Google API and deploy it with a single click – hosted on Google’s infrastrcture. I think this is an excellent service when it comes to rather simple web applications.
