So I’ve been slaving away for the last three days to bring you my newest projects. Check ‘em out!

  • That’s My Song!: a clique for people with theme songs.
  • Discotheque: a web directory.
  • Spiral: a plugboard for easy promotion.
  • Three: a weekly MP3 rotation site.

I’m gonna go join some listings to get some promotion going. Wish me luck!

I had to use the default theme for Nothing but Song because I upgraded to 2.5 last night, and it didn’t like my homemade themes. I noticed that the site loading was really sluggishly. It moves a lot faster with the Kubrick theme, but you know me. I had to jazz it up. It’s a bit more like me now. When people start making themes for 2.5 then I’ll prolly use theirs. But it might be awhile and besides, I think this theme’ll do.

Speaking of 2.5, I like it so far. It’s more aesthetically pleasing. The new look for the admin pages of WordPress are really cool. The way to upload images has changed. So did the placement of the categories box. Everything is under four tabs: Write, Manage, Design and Comments. Settings, Plugins, and Users are off to the side and in small text. There’s more, but you should see for yourself. It’ll take some getting used to, that’s for sure.

I took a screenshot of what the dashboard looks like below. It loads faster and is much easier to look through.

I remember reading the teaser post that stated that they were moving up a version for WP that the gravatar code was plugged into WP permanently. So I got rid of my gravatar plugin. So far, no problems with the active plugins I have. Most of them seem to be working just fine.

Don’t forget to backup your database before upgrading. This new fangled WP might not be for you.
