The Blonde Diaries

I logged in this morning to see a note about upgrading to WordPress 2.8. I didn’t realize a new version of WordPress would be released soon nor did I know what changes or upgrades would be in store once I pushed that button and allowed my software to upgrade automatically. I figure at the end of the day I will need to upgrade so why not just go for it and then read about it later.

Upgrading went as easily as clicking a button with a mouse which is exactly what I did. No issues (no exceptions, waive further review – LOL a little auditor humor) everything seems to be working fine. One thing I did notice that was new is a box on my sidebar for series tags. I wasn’t paying attention earlier when I did my post about Direct TV and put in all of my post tags in the series tag box. I couldn’t figure out why there were no tags for that post until I came back later and saw that there are now 2 boxes for tagging posts. I haven’t figured out what series tags are for but thought I’d give a heads up so you don’t have the same question bugging you later on.

I also just noticed a link on my side bar to install a theme directly through the admin part of my blog. That will be nice because I never remember the address to get to my server. Then once I am finally to my server site, I never remember what user name and password I have used. I don’t have any themes picked out to add but I might have to do a search to find one and test this little feature out.

Have you noticed anything cool with this new version?? Leave me a comment and tell me all about it.
