I upgraded to WordPress 1.5 tonight.. everything went fairly smoothly, and I like the new functionality of the new WordPress… i modified the included “kubrick” design slightly by adding my barn pic (thanks andy)… this’ll do for now..
don’t like the standard look of dennisyang.com? well — you’re in luck.. i just finished installing alex king’s wordpress style switcher.. i had to make a slight change to accommodate for the fact that wordpress itself is installed in a different directory, but i won’t get into that technical mumbo-jumbo.. on to the fun!
along the side, you’ll see a new “styles” menu — from there, you can pick from a wide variety of styles (most of which were stolen from the wordpress style gallery)..
Right now.. i think the default style still needs a little work.. dots is probably my current favorite, although evil duck is a fun alternative…
well… a few months back, matt mullenweg joined cnet — he’s one of the main developers working on wordpress.. anyway, i’ve decided to move dennisyang.com from movable type to wordpress.. it was pretty straightforward to do.. i helped ditto move her blog from blogger to wordpress yesterday, but supposedly the ISP accidentally wiped the mysql db or something.. oops.. ditto will be very mad.
anyway.. props to photomatt for putting together a great blogging system… from what i can see so far, it’s really good..
