Wordpress 2.0 — up and running!

(self-indulgent gloating follows…)

I’ve got WordPress 2.0 up and running. I’ve got the new subscribe feature working. (Click on the “subscribe” button above to be notified by email when I update the ‘blog…). The new Akismet SPAM filter is catching 100% of my comment spam. The new backup/restore feature saves a copy of my MySQL database on my local drive. I set up XFN tags to differentiate people in my blogroll that I know personally versus sites I like to read.

I’m halfway through an upgrade of my photo gallery software, Gallery. The new version is MySQL driven and has many improvements over the previous version.

Dreamhost has been a wonderful web host through this upgrade - they have one-click installs of Gallery and WordPress, great control panel utility, responsive technical support people, they’re fast, and they’re cheap! Click on the previous link or the “powered by” button on the right to sign up with Dreamhost and give me a kickback…
