There is a new version of WordPress available which fixes a number of small bugs and some security issues. So, for the past few days I’ve been checking out the new code on my test server. The system works very well and I really like the changes. So, tonight I upgraded my blog to the new software. We’ll try this for a couple of days and then I’ll upgrade some of the other blogs on the site to the new software.

Some of the improvements have to do with picture handling and uploading. It is much easier and more intuitive. When writing a new blog entry, it is automatically saved every couple of minutes so what is written doesn’t get lost by mistake.

The other day Heather told me that she never wants to be upgraded!! She doesn’t want to have to learn how to do things all over again. Meanwhile, Jaelene has asked to be upgraded because she has this killer new theme that she wants to use and she can’t until her blog is upgraded. Since I’ll be at Heather’s house over the weekend, I’ll show her what the new software looks like and she can then make the final decision.
