WordPress 2.5
As the more astute amongst you may have noticed, I have upgraded my ‘blogging engine’ to WordPress 2.5.
I’d been keen to upgrade for a number of reasons.
Partly because I’m a techie, and being a techie I feel obliged to try and upgrade to the latest versions of stuff as soon as is practical (but ideally after most of the bugs have been ironed out).
Partly because when I found out that:
…for the past few months, we’ve been working with our friends at Happy Cog — Jeffrey Zeldman, Jason Santa Maria, and Liz Danzico — to redesign WordPress from the ground-up.WordPress Blog: version 2.5 sneak peek
…and since Zeldman and Happy Cog were involved, there was a fair bet that we’d be looking at something well designed, with standards compliance, semantics, usability and accessibility placed quite highly up the pecking order. That sounded interesting.
But mostly, if I’m honest, because Shannon from Milan to Minsk recently commented on my site to say:
I’m excited to get [wordpress] 2.5 this weekend.Shannon
…and therefore I obviously wanted to try and beat her and install WordPress 2.5 first.
The install was smooth, straightforward and far, far easier than previous upgrades. Plugin upgrades are also considerably easier too. The one minor glitch I encountered was that for some reason it appeared to be preventing any images whatsoever from rendering on my site, which I thought was a little bit of a down site, until I realised that either my WordPress upgrade had prevented any image — anywhere, on any site I visited — from rendering, or more likely that I’d accidentally clicked on the little ‘disable images’ option on my Firefox Web Developer’s toolbar without noticing.
Suffice to say, I re-enabled images in Firefox and everything started to work again. D’oh!
But I’ve got to say WordPress 2.5 looks cool. It’s easy to use, it’s fun, and best of all, it’s free. If you’ve not been blogging before, why not take a trip over to WordPress and get your own free, hosted blog?

Oops I missed this over the weekend… so I’m upgrading as I type.
You’ll get an idea about why I’ve been slow on the uptake with my next post…

Awesome Jack… no theme or plugin issues, specifically the contact form?

@Mike,
hadn’t tested the contact form before but I have now. No, no issues with it anywhere.
Obviously this particular theme isn’t ‘widget-ready’, but the theme did come out before the idea of widgets did!
