I have just upgraded to Wordpress 2.3 which was made literally as simple as clicking a button by my fine hosts, dreamhost. Most everything seems to have gone smoothly, but you may notice that a few bits and bobs have disappeared from the sidebar for the time being. These will return soon, in addition to a cornucopia of new goodies - in fact I’ve gone for a three-column layout so I can fit loads more crap functionality onto the blog.
Adding lots of pointless blog bling (’blong’? - maybe not…) is made trivially easy as I am using the most excellent K2 theme which, along with being super-easy to customize (thanks to the ’styles’ features which allows you to create a new stylesheet which overrides the k2 defaults without touching the core files) and ‘pimp out’ (thanks to the kick-ass k2-sidebar manager which lets you drag-and-drop modules into the sidebars, set which pages they appear on, and more - including running PHP scripts inside the page) also features some rather nifty , jquery-powered AJAX-y functionality - check out the advanced search or click the ‘«older’ link at top of page for two examples.
