It may not look any different on the surface, and that’s the beauty of it. This site has been upgraded to Wordpress 2.0. Yes, I know I took my damn time, but now I’m loving it, dearly.
It’s neat, clean, slick, full of AJAX goodness, modern, but not lacking excellent support for the old (all my plugins, and skin, worked). And it has built-in image management support. Simple, but adequate for my needs - not to mention it integrates seamlessly into any theme. I’ve migrated the entire image content from gallery2 to Wordpress 2.0, and I’m never going back.
Due to increasingly frequent downtimes and errors when using RSSDigest to parse my del.icio.us links, I’ve also switched over to del.icio.us’ own linkrolls service, which is basically the same thing, except neater, and probably more reliable.
I’m going to make a new theme, soon.

I’m going to upgrade to WP 2.0 when I’ve decided that I don’t want my LJ syndication plugin anymore.
And when I have time.
Maybe I should just upgrade now.
RSS Digest became Feed Digest several months ago, which has significantly more templating features (basically any HTML you want), output features, and is faster, etc. del.icio.us has had significant outages of its own lately, so may not necessarily be a solid performer either, although RSS Digest has been deprecated and unsupported since August 2005.
Thanks for the heads-up, Mr Cooper. I trust I’ll have an opportunity to use the new product and take advantage of its new features soon.
However, all I need for my del.icio.us-grabbing is something really simple - and the built-in feature has just about everything I need. Plus I haven’t noticed any major disruptions in del.icio.us’ service for the past month, although in November it was a train-wreck full of bugs.
Still, it’s good to know that I have a more powerful alternative all ready and raring to go. And, WOW, it really is powerful…
Thanks for the post,
Excellent essay and site. I put a link to your compassion essay on my website. Good work.
