Upgraded to WordPress 2.0
A geeky housekeeping note: I just upgraded Crazy Fingers to WordPress 2.0. It was painless.
As a reader of this blog, you won’t notice any changes, at least until I change the theme again.
There were a lot of changes under the hood, and the new administration dashboard is pretty cool, including a WYSIWYG post editor, like Blogger has, and a preview panel which uses your actual theme (before, the preview panel for posts was theme-unaware). There are probably a lot of other things I will geek out about, but I haven’t discovered them yet.
If you’re curious, check out this summary of changes in WordPress 2.0.
I’m even more wary about using third-party themes than I was with WordPress 1.5. (Recall, I was disappointed about cross-browser compatibility with some of the themes I tried and liked. They all seemed to work on Firefox, but results varied on other browsers.)
Although some things may not work in WordPress 2.0, but Owen asserts themes will be ok — if it worked in 1.5, it’ll work in 2.0. Plugins may be a different story, he speculates. (I haven’t used plugins at all, so this doesn’t scare me.)
I’ll be watching the results of this WordPress 2.0 Theme Design Competition closely.
Sir,
The wordpress 2.0 theme design competition had been cancel because i organise the competition before the final release of wordpress 2.0. I will organise a new wordpress theme design competition this coming January. Only after everyone had get used to the changes and everything. Thanks for writing =))

Good move Larry. I just upgraded to Wordpress latest version also and am real happy with the editing tools.
I’m looking forward to your future blog posts.
