WordPress 2.2

Here it is, my new WordPress blog. It always feels good to install shiny new software. I realize that changing the URL of a blog is sort of like changing your email address, so it must get annoying for the (1 or 2) people who were keeping track of my previous blog. But this change is because I’m moving to a new domain (StevesNotebook.com), so I guess that makes it okay :)

I’ll go ahead and make this my first “software” category post by writing a little about WordPress 2.2. WordPress 2.2 offers a bunch of new features:

  • WordPress Widgets
  • Full Atom support
  • New Blogger importer
  • Infinite comment stream
  • Speed optimizations
  • WYSIWYG support for a future version of Safari

The full list and more details can be found at the developer blog announcement.

The main thing that I was impressed with was how easy it was to install. The Famous 5-minute Install really works and really took me 5 minutes! If only all PHP software installed that easily.
