I’ve just updated to WordPress 2.5, (which is beta and still under development), and it is sweet. Probably the most surprising thing for me the ease of switching.

I was running version 2.2 just 2 days ago, and all I had to do was swap out a bunch of files, run the update page, and presto, version 2.5 is sputtering along. Anyway, most of the changes are behind the scenes, and more for the owners/writers to enjoy.

The interface is simpler, more minimal, there’s a full-port writing mode, more plugins for the dashboard and quite a few other options. What a rush!… (Have I shown myself to be a geek yet?) I have noticed quite a few bugs, but nothing to shy away from.

In other news, I’ll be creating the new blog for indusblue/oneMethod and we’ll be using WordPress 2.5 for that as well. My boss is adamant that it be the cleanest, slickest most professional blog ever, so I will, unexpectedly, be spending some time learning a thing or two about WordPress and blogging in general.

Already, I’ve absorbed the wonderful (and not-so-wonderful) world of plug-ins, with more to come with respect to design! The indusblue/oneMethod blog will be developed along a more rigid framework than the ghostmonk journal, so when all is finished with that, I will be setting my sites on updating the design and functionality the engine you are reading. Most importantly the design… cause man do I hate it these days… what was I thinking?
