Today I made the move to WordPress 2.5 RC1.  I’ve been using the trunk version from SVN for a week or so on my test site and everything seemed to check out.  Hopefully all the plugins continue to work on the live site, at least the theme didn’t break.  But we’re looking to update that as well.

Version 2.5 adds quite a few new features, hopefully we can use the new image gallery features.  But most of it is under the hood fixes.  We’ll see and I’ll keep you updated.

Starting tomorrow, Friday 1 February 2008, there will be a weekly selection of facts and factoids for your enjoyment. In case you didn’t know, here are the definitions of fact and factoid from dictionary.com.

fact – noun: something that actually exists; reality; truth

factoid – noun: an insignificant or trivial factan insignificant or trivial fact

If you have anything to submit for this weekly feature, be sure to use the Contact Us page to submit your ideas.

As you may have noticed, the layout has changed dramatically. This is because I have decided to leave Drupal for Wordpress. At first, I was amazed at the power and flexibility of Drupal. I could customize just about everything, and many of the things I’ll have to download plugins for in Wordpress are there by default. A Drupal site is a bit over-complicated to manage for me, and a simpler Wordpress site will be better in the long run.
