For all those bloggers out there, Wordpress 2.5 was released today. Of course this means that there’s time for another round of updating files, tweaking themes to match, and inevitably finding updated plug-ins that work with the latest version. Because of this, normally I’d hold off for a while, but I decided about a week ago that I needed to fix up my hosting (due mainly to the speed of the old one) and so while I was moving all my data across, I thought I might as well bite the bullet and upgrade Wordpress at the same time.
The result is what you see here!
- A new host, thanks to LemonJar - bye bye Dreamhost (although they were good to me for two years). The site is much, much faster so hopefully you’ll notice the difference.
- A new theme (it’s based off Aperio prototype - I stress it is a prototype and will need a little tweaking)
- A new Wordpress - It’s now running version 2.5 which has a host of new features that makes everything worthwhile.
As usual, feel free to leave comments. There may be the odd broken image around the place. I’m still fixing some things up. :)
I should also mention that comments now support Gravatars (the little avatar-like images that go alongside your comments). If you want to add one visit gravatar.com and sign up. Once you get one, it’ll appear on every site you comment on that has Gravatar support.
Pretty cool huh?
Well that woke me up this morning. Interesting, needs a little tweaking but certainly something different.
Like the new layout - you are tempting me to upgrade again.
