Site Updates

If you’re reading this article, that means I have successfully updated WordPress to v2.1. WordPress is a Content Management System that is free and available to anyone that wishes to host their own website and needs software that makes pages dynamic and easy to create.

I’ve been using WordPress for almost two years now, since Moveable Type decided to start charging for its software. Once I discovered how versatile WP was letting you customize the layouts and the wealth of plugins available (especially the introduction of WordPress Widgets) I have never looked back. In fact I’ve recommended the software to anyone even curious about blogging.

The new v2.1 of the WordPress software includes numerous under-the-hood tweaks that should result in faster page generation, a newer version of the Spam-Trapping tool Akismet (which as of this date has blocked 9,500 Spam Comments since it was released with v2.0 last year), an auto-save feature for unpublished drafts (HELL yeah) and a few Administrator Dashboard graphical tweaks.

And now back to our regularly scheduled nonsense.
