Too many times writing <?php echo(’stuff’); ?>? Or just a dirty pinky finger? Why would my little finger be so much grittier than the others? Why is it red? Pounding out that damn PHP code too hard, probably.

It’s been a long time comin’, but our blogging platform of choice, WordPress (which powers what you’re currently reading), has been completely redone. I had been reading all the buzz over the past few weeks via the Dashboard, Matt’s blog and Happy Cog rumblings and was eager to get us on the now stable 2.5.

So this is the first post with the new system, and the updated interface is much improved. I’m still questions some of the design decisions made (mostly layout issues – which might stem from things just looking “different”") but all in all, it is nice to have a fresh view.

We’ll keep you posted on how much WordPress 2.5 rocks after we’ve used it for a week.
