WordPress 2.5 is here! Actually, the ubiquitous blogging software has been out for about a couple of weeks now, I’m just a little late on the upgrade.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen a new release from the Automattic guys (as well as the open source community). After a bit of a delay, the shrink wrap is finally off, and we can finally see what all this waiting around had been for.
SEOmoz has a huge list of the best web 2.0 sites. This is the place to look for the cream of the crop from around the internet. Check it out at SEOmoz’s Web 2.0 Awards.
Check out the new rotating header, live archives page and contact page. There are also a few more little additions that you’ll have to find yourself.
So I’ve updated WordPress to version 2.0.1 and it only felt appropriate to give the aging theme a makeover as well. I’m now using the popular K2 Beta theme from Michael Heilemann and Chris Davis. It’s not exactly what I want so there will hopefully be a load of updates in the coming weeks as I modify it to my tastes. But for now, if you have any comments please tell me what you think.
For those who are interested in web design and CSS layouts, you might find this article by Matthew Levine interesting. Take a look here.

Looking for a recipe for all those different half full alcohol bottles you have lying around? Try Extratasy.com. It has a nice simple design with ratings, tags, and that whole Web 2.0 feel to it. Not bad.
Now, I know my blog isn’t exactly a hot bed of feverish discussion, but I still get massiive amount of spam comments every day. Maybe Akismet will be able to actually “Stop Comment Spam and Trackback Spam”. I believe it is made by the same guys behind WordPress, so it’s probably pretty good.
FALbum “allows you to display your Flickr photos and photosets on your site.”
I might need this for my flickr photos.
So, I’ve started putting Google Adsense Ads on the blog and within the RSS feed. We’ll see how it works out. I’ve already found that it really tends to clutter things up, but the whole site design will eventually be overhauled anyway (hopefuly soon) so that isn’t a big deal at the moment. Also, I’m back in school which means that posts are likely to be fairly sparse for a while. If anyone actually reads this, let me know what you think. Cheers.
Here’s another “create a webpage with CSS” tutorial. Looks like this one goes all the way through the process. It could be a good read. See:
