Funny how time off always brings the creative me out again. When I’m working I rarely do anything with my own websites, but give me a couple of days of holiday and things start to itch.
I’ve been upgrading most of the logs under my control to the new version of WordPress, and I’m pretty impressed with a) how fast and relatively smooth the upgrades went, and b) what the new dashboard looks like. It’s so much cleaner and better designed than it was, and I love that I now have a widescreen form to type my posts in instead of [ ... ]
