After finishing all the testing and exploring the new options in Wordpress 2.5 i upgraded my site. Now i can focus on posting again.

I will make some time to explore the Wordpress Plugin Directory to enhance the site a little more.

It took a little longer than expected because of the formatting of my desktop machine, where i make most of the posting. Later today you will find more content posted.

I just made some tests locally and everything went fine with my theme and plugins so far. Today i will make a clean install in my desktop pc (unattended as always) and i will upload the new Wordpress to my server in order to upgrade the site before i make other posts.

All this week i have been out of town looking for a job in the Oil industry. I hope to get one, as i have been interviewed by people in important companies.

I will return to my home tomorrow and i will resume the posting as soon as i can, i have been collecting some interesting articles and other software downloads for you.

I want to begin testing locally the new version of Wordpress before i upgrade my site because i need to make sure that all my plugins and the main theme works fine with the 2.5 version.

Finally, after some weeks of waiting the highly anticipated Wordpress version 2.5 is released as final.

This new version includes new features, a great design overhaul for the user interface or frontend and tight security measures to prevent hacks or takeovers on blogs.

All the work is done after six months of development. A few weeks ago, Matt, the founder of Wordpress posted a screencast for people to see the new interface in action.

The new features are extensive, if you want to read about the mall, go here.

Be sure to read all the documentation before attempting to upgrade because some plugins or themes may not work with this new version. I posted some instructions on how to upgrade earlier versions wordpress if you want some advice.
