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.

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.
