Hey all! Been a while.

I come to you today because WordPress has released a “sneak peek” of the new WordPress 2.5 (it’s at Release Candidate stage). I just upgrade my blog to 2.5, and I must say, I love it! Not only for the new admin interface, but it’s fast as hell!

More information, and WordPress’ official announcement:

A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times sound interesting? Then WordPress 2.5 might be the release for you. It’s been in the oven for a while, and we’re finally ready to open the doors a bit to give you a taste.

For the past few months, we’ve been working with our friends at Happy Cog — Jeffrey Zeldman, Jason Santa Maria, and Liz Danzico — to redesign WordPress from the ground-up. The result is a new way of interacting with WordPress that will remain familiar to seasoned users while improving the experience for everyone. This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint — we’ve re-thought the look of WordPress, as well as how it’s organized so that you can forget about the software and focus on your own creative pursuits… More info

So after a while of having that old, dark, design - I’ve decided to switch it up. I like the new, light, Web 2.0-ish look of this theme. What do ya’ll think?

I recently had to move, and was without internet for about two weeks. I used to be on DSL and was too cheap to buy cable (albeit, cable hadn’t offered good speeds where I was). At the new place, I’m now on 6MB cable, and I love it!

I don’t know how I went all these years without it.
