Installing WordPress 2.5 - Don’t Forget

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

This is just a quick note to all you WordPressers out there letting you know what WordPress 2.5 has been released and is ready for business.

I installed the upgrade this morning. I would say it took about 4 minutes to complete. The WordPress people really have the process down to a few small things. Basically, if you already have a recent version, you just need to upload some new files over the old. I’m sure that each upgrade adds some new ones too.

In WordPress 2.5, the look and functionality of the admin section are quite different from the previous version. It seems more intuitive, but still, it’s going to take some time to get used to. The front-end had no issues.

This is a sample of the new back-end…

I have so say, there are about a ton and a half of new features to play with. Just uploading that last image took some getting used to. There are soooo many things…

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Received and Installed

Monday, December 17th, 2007

The UPS man just handed me a little package…Adobe Photoshop CS3. That was very nice of him.

I am trying to upgrade most of my software before the end of the year. I have been doing a pretty good job of it. I just installed the program and resized one photo and used some filters. Everything seems pretty similar to my old version, which is nice. I am sure there are loads of new features…most of which I will never use. The reason why this upgrade is nice is because it works well with Windows Vista. My last version came out way before Windows Vista did, but it still worked. I figure this new version will do me just fine for about another ten years.
