Hello …
Been waiting to find time to upgrade my blog …
This week … I finally managed to do it …
I updated wordpress … to version 2.5 …
It wasn’t as easy as I expected … it never is …
I had some broken links after the upgrade …
Had to manually fix them … thats messed up …
I’ve mixed feelings about this latest version …
When you first login … its amazing …
The admin area is well done … its really nice …
The dashboard is really kewl … and makes sense …
I like the new stats feature built right in …
I also found a liked the fullscreen mode …
What i did not like was … media management …
Everything was ajax’ed and changed …
I still dunno my way around most of it …
Hell … I had to reupload most of my images …
Just to get my thumbnails to work …
May be I need some time getting used to it …
Also … I changed my hosting …
This blog was previously hosted on site5.com …
My new host is the Grid Service at MediaTemple …
It all the rage these days … with positive reviews …
Let me know how this blog works for you …
If its unusually slow or anything like that …
I’d also like you to drop in a comment …
If you find any broken links … thanks …
And a call for help goes out to the local IT crowd …
If you’ve managed to get lightbox working in 2.5 …
Please let me know how … thank you …
Laterx …

Strange, I had no problems upgrading to WordPress 2.5, the only problem I had was with the Lightbox plugin not using the title tag/description from the uploaded image boxes in WordPress, which I had a friend fix for me anyway but other than that the LightBox plugin worked for me.
I agree with you on the ‘media management’ part it seems to be a few extra steps to upload images and edit the properties and the thumbnails are a bit irritating.
hello james …
yeah … lightbox doesnt seem to play nice with 2.5 intall …
and i dont have a friend who’d fix it for me … hehe
