The 13th version of WordPress has hit the servers for everyday use.
Check out their blog entry announcing the release and exciting news about the future of WordPress. Instead of rushing to develop a 3.x release, they will be working on the whole “WordPress experience” as WordPress is much more than the open source blogging application that it started out as years ago.
Who would have thought that summer could have so much going on even though I thought I have been playing lazy! Maybe my being lazy is the real reason I haven’t posted lately!
I have added a few pictures to the gallery and want to do more on the entire site.
I’m trying something to maybe help get more posts up; it should let me write entries on the computer and then send them up to the blog when I am ready instead of my having to log in and write posts. This may or may not be as flexible so forgive me as I play with a few things here such as color, fonts and so on.
OK, time to see what (hopefully) happens!
If you notice to your right, under “Photos and Notes”, you will find references to pictures. I have been unable to make Gallery work, so I’m putting them here.
Most of the slow loading ones are the larger ones that I made large just in case you want to use one for wallpaper.
I will be adding pictures as I can.
Enjoy!!!
WordPress will turn 5 years old on Tuesday, May 27!!
Happy birthday, and thanks for bringing blogging to the masses like you have. I like being able to blog right here on my own site!
Your birthday is responsible for the shortest post I’ve made, any viewers I have appreciate that!
As I look for more plugins for WordPress, it has occurred to me how some sites are almost painful to visit as more and more things show up on them supposedly making for a “better visiting experience”. It seems that many simply have features fighting to be noticed. Of course this takes away from the “experience”!
Balance is hard to achieve, I know. I am constantly adding, and then removing features from what I have here on the site. I have broken my forums once, and my photo gallery three times (one day I broke it twice!) fiddling with things. I’ve also added toys enough to have my site flash more than a cheap Christmas tree only to come to my senses and clean things up, hopefully before too many people noticed and ran for their lives.
Since WordPress 2.3 supports tagging, I may do away with the category scheme and stick to tags only. I think tagging is easier to implement, and a lot more flexible in the end run.
I think the adage of always “leaving them wanting a bit more” holds in online experiences, too. Hopefully visitors here will find plenty of interest without being overloaded.
