WordPress 2.1 Upgrade
February 6th, 2007 Posted in wordpress
Yay I have the shiny new version 2.1 of WordPress staring out at me instead of scummy old version 2.05 or whatever. Things went a bit crazy for a short time because it now has built in support for static front pages, which sort of messed things up. The is_home command stopped claiming that the front page really was the front page because it was static, it only returns true on the front page of the blog, so I had to rewrite my is_home() statements into is_page(‘Home’) after setting that page as the front one.
This new version seems really nice after my initial frustrations. It means that I don’t have to hack it around so much to use it as a CMS (content management system), and my blog can actually be at classicalconvert.com/blog instead of classicalconvert.com/category/blog which looked kind of retarded. The new editor is cool as well, it’s got ever so trendy Web 2.0 style tabs on it.
Sorry for this post being so unmusical, but I need to geek out every now and then.
