Changes to Site
This site is actually hosted on a GoDaddy hosting account, and the original WordPress installation was installed using the automated GoDaddy application installer. The WordPress team recently released version 2.7, so I decided to upgrade manually rather than wait for GoDaddy to get around to putting the new version online for manual installation. So far, so good. I decided to not follow the upgrade instructions (doh!) and I just uploaded the new files overtop of the old blog files. Once I ran the upgrade, everything looked fine. Even the theme came across nicely.
In addition, I took advantage of the “I’m changing the site” frame of mind to add a widget or two. Specifically, I added a widget to display whatever I tweet. I also added the tag cloud widget (not that I make extensive use of tags… but hey, I know some people out there really eat that tag stuff up so there yah go taggers… have at it). For those of you considering following me on Twitter, please know that I don’t tweet my every move. Most of my activity on Twitter is watching and keeping up with the people I follow. A healthy percentage of my tweets are replies.
I like the new interface, and I like the widget concept. If anyone else knows of some good widgets to toss in, please feel free to let me know.
