Bloggy Bloggy My Blog

Good news is WordPress 2.3 has been released and can be downloaded from http://wordpress.org/download.  I eagerly waited for it for 4 days as my plans for this blog were to use wordpress and no use coding template in 2.2.3 than convert it to 2.3. So, this blog is proudly running WordPress 2.3 . Here is how it came into existence.

Last night It took me about 3 hrs to setup the blog and merge the theme with the blog. Yes, that is correct I do all my theme customizations and coding. Its better than hiring someone to do a messy job which might take days or months to be completed. Anyways I haven’t noticed anything new in wordpress 2.3 so cannot say “Wow wordpress is so much cooler now” !!! It still makes my pages XHTML invalid if I post directly using the Editor they got for adding posts, so every time I have to write a post in word (hmm good since it checks my poor spellings too) and copy it to dreamweaver, make it xhtml valid and copy paste the code dreamweaver makes. And the posts and stories are than XTHML valid. Keep the site Validated all the time. For how long I can keep up with that is another story.
Few things I plan to add are few extra modification like
Seo Package to make it more seo friendly for mr google bot , yahoo slurpy and msn’s live bot. Will be adding captcha protection too for comments soon, so as to lower my moderation work. Will enable follow tags for comments, so webmasters can enjoy free backlinks. I know everyone wants one for they want the PR juice, I just wish google would stop and kill its PR thingy so everyone is happy. Few extra modifications like social bookmarking , so if anyone wants can digg or stumble the stories if they like with ease !!

More updates if any will be posted in this category itself so check them out if you are interested. Might add news feeds from yahoo in this category too !!!
