I finally upgraded to WordPress 2.1<\/a>, a month after it came out. I’ve been really busy with school work and whatnot, and while it doesn’t take long to upgrade, I wanted to set aside time so that I did it correctly.<\/p>\n

As expected, a lot of the plugins<\/a> I was using needed to be upgraded, which was somewhat of a tedious process. Most of them now work, though for some of them I was unable to find updated versions. However, they all seem<\/em> to be working. Please let me know<\/a> if you see something that isn’t working.
\n
\nSo, with the seemingly troublesome upgrade, why did I bother go forward with it? Well, it wasn’t that<\/em> bad. Besides, I like messing with stuff. But the real reason was that WordPress 2.1 adds some nifty new features, such as auto-saving of your post as you’re writing it, similar to how Gmail saves your messages as you’re composing them. Anything that makes computers easier to use, and less of a headache, is worth upgrading to. WordPress is already one of the easiest (if not the<\/em> easiest) systems to use, and this only makes it even better. <\/p>\n

As a last note, I’m looking to upgrade the “related posts” part of my blog, which is the part that displays similar entries to the current one at the end of a post. Currently, I’m using the related posts functionality of Category Tagging Plugin<\/a>, but I think it just looks at posts that have the same category\/tag. I’ll probably move over to using the Related Entries Plugin<\/a>, which actually uses a full text index to do comparisons to find similar posts. It’ll probably be a little more accurate.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
