WordPress 2.0 is cool!

I finally got around to upgrading the podcast site, Bits of Silicon Hell,to WordPress 2.0. I’m shy about upgrading major versions of anything as soon as they come out. So, yeah, I let this one go for a while.

It was sorta fun upgrading all of my plugins, discovering new ones, and troubleshooting various issues arising from doing the geek/guy thing and not following the directions to the letter (such as not deleting the old version’s files).

I’m excited about the new version of the forums and support for gravatar (which I never heard of before tonight). The only thing on my wishlist is some way to know when forum replies are made. Either through e-mail notifications or an favorite thread RSS feed like BBpress has.

Next project: Find something to replace the outdated piece of crap called PHP-Nuke that’s currently running Eyejabber without losing any of the 5 years worth of posts, comments, and forum discussions. The site is not mine, but Dudemac is pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff so I hook him up. I just haven’t had time to do a proper job and the site’s only been defaced a couple of times.
