Upgraded to WordPress 1.5
Filed Under WordPress
It’s supposed to be very simple to customize the look with WordPress 1.5 (this is default Kubrick right now), and after printing out how to accomplish “pretty URLs’ to make the modification, come to find out it’s built right in to 1.5 off_the_shelf. There are supposed to be some enhancements and added features very simply implemented, and a TON of ready made styles out there, so time permitting, which is in short supply now, it’ll be fun to delve into it all. There’s already a lot of buzz about the WordPress 1.5 release:
Official announcement of WordPress 1.5 at the WordPress development blog.
A ton of WordPress 1.5 Themes at Alex King’s site.
Aat How to Blog , tutorials and a list or where there are 250 styles/templates available.
And How to Use Themes at WordPress Codex.
I didn’t do the upgrade myself, my daughter did it for me (thanks, sweetie), with just an unexpected mishap or two along the way, with the site being taken down altogether for a few hours yesterday for “maintenance”. Apparently there was some issue with the database somewhere in the backup and migration, resolved with the help of a PHP programming friend who’s also a talented developer and designer (thanks, Scott).
