I Updated WordPress… Finally

I finally updated Exit171 to WordPress v2.3.1.  Version 1.5.2 worked well for a long time, but I knew I was several revs behind and missing out on some new functionality, e.g. widgets, themes, etc.  The upgrade couldn’t have been easier (it took me longer to backup everything than it did to upgrade).  I’ll be messing around with some new features in the coming weeks and probably a new theme.  Please let me know if you see anything that looks strange or broken.  Thanks.

Sphere Related Content Widget

Sphere
I just installed the Sphere Related Content Widget on my blog. It literally took me less than a minute to install and configure. You’ll now see an icon at the end of my posts… In a nutshell, when you click on the icon, Sphere finds other blog posts and media articles related to the content in that particular post. Cool stuff. It would be great to see this widget catch-on everywhere… so much easier to find relevant information.

Blogging Tools for the Mac

Wp-Button-5
Great write-up on blogging tools for the Mac. Except for Movable Type, I’ve tried all of these (yes, even iBlog) and have chosen WordPress for my blog Exit 171. I’m several months in with WordPress (100+ posts) and still loving it. I have about 10 plug-ins active and have only just scratched the surface. The customization capabilities seem endless. FYI, most of the tools mentioned in the article are also supported on Windows and Linux.

According to one recent estimate, a new Weblog is created every second. Everyone from your geeky IT coworker to your Uncle Marvin has one already. So why don’t you? If you’ve got something—anything—you want to share with the rest of the world, a blog is the place to do it. And it’s never been easier to jump on the blogging bandwagon. The tools and services required are inexpensive (and often free) and as simple (or as powerful) as you want.
