Updated to WordPress 2.6
For those of you who haven’t updated, WordPress 2.6 is now out and you should update.
I have been running it a little bit and have not seen any problems.
The one function I do like is the plug-in management. The previous versions put all the plug-ins together, whether they were active or not. WordPress 2.6 separates the active plugins from the disabled ones. It is nice.
Give it a try! At least do it for all of us who are on the Internet and protect us from viruses and other bad things.
Matt Mullenweg talks about the future of WordPress
This video is from about a month ago, but is pretty interesting. It is a good discussion about the future of WordPress and some of the things that they are working on.
At least I found it interesting.
Wordpress - Categories vs Tags
I use Wordpress and have always struggled with the difference between categories and tags. There has been no real analogy for those so I could place it in my mind on how to use them.
Well I was listening to The WordPress Podcast and they were discussing the best part of WordCamp Dallas and someone put it into perspective for me.
The best way I have seen it described is that tags are the index and categories are the table of contents. It has really helped me understand and fine-tune my blog.
Thanks for doing The Voices of WordCamp Dallas. It has really helped me and I wasn’t even there.

WordPress 2.5 RC2 is out
WordPress 2.5 RC2 is now out for review and comment and you can watch a screencast of what is coming. I am quite encouraged by what is coming.
Check out the post and screencast on the WordPress.org site.
WordPress Release Candidate 1 is out
WordPress RC1 is now out. That means they are getting closer, but they have missed their deadline by over a week now.
If you don’t want to download RC1, take a look at the sneak peak on the WordPress.Org site. It has some screen shots and interesting information.
I sure hope it is worth it, so far it looks like it is worthy.

This looks to be a substantial release with a lot of new cool features.
