WordPress

Updated the site to use WordPress. It’s advertised as a better alternative to B2, and it works as such. There were a few upgrade hitches, but everything worked after a few hours of tweaking. What I like most about it though, is the Links Manager. I didn’t like depending on Blogroll that much, though I’ve left the link in (in the sidebar) for people who do use it. The Link Manager available with WordPress is a first-class utility (it even includes a Link This! javascript link that I can drag to the Firebird toolbar and click on when I visit an interesting site) and I’ll recommend an update to all B2 users out there just for this feature. Aside from that, I popped in the calendar and the feeds, rearranged some links and viola, I like the Vysnu that I created.
