It’s paradoxical how easy it is to upgrade WordPress and how difficult it is at the same time. WordPress 1.5 came out a few weeks ago, so I decided that it was time to upgrade. It was easy to just upload the new release and run the upgrade script. However, theming has changed drastically since 1.2.x, so my design kinda broke. I spent a bit of time reading up on the new changes and learning how to adapt my old theme to it. It basically works now, though it doesn’t look quite as finished as it did before. Instead of spending time fixing the theme compatibility issues, I think I’ll come up with a new design, since this one is getting a bit old anyways. I haven’t changed it in nearly a year. Anyway, it will give me a chance to test the Web development capabilities of my new PowerBook.
For those of you who I haven’t told, my PowerBook arrived early last week and I’ve been playing with it ever since. I’ve adapted quite quickly to the Mac way of life and it’s interesting to use yet another new desktop environment. I think that my quick adaptation was partially due to frequent tinkering with Linux. I’ve learned how to use so many different Linux desktop environments that I’m really not set into any one way of doing things. I’ve really enjoyed playing with my Mac. I’ll post a detailed account of my experiences soon.
ooh pretty. how much was it?
It cost $1899 with my educational discount to get the 12″ model with the DVD burner. It was a little expensive, but I really like it a lot more than my old laptop, so I guess it sorta evens out? Hehe.
