Sometimes I get stuck on what I should blog about. So I thought I’d do something different and since I needed a good laugh today, I searched YouTube.com and I found this gem…one of Monty Python’s finest..

I’m pleased to announce that as of today all my WordPress themes have been tested and are compatible with WordPress 2.5. I have also created an account with Wordpress Codex tools and have edited the Themes/Theme Compatibility/2.5 page to include my themes.

For all of you who have yet to upgrade to version 2.5 of Wordpress, I have this piece of advice: upgrade soon. This version of WordPress has been created to simplify a lot of functions and has a cool new look, and new goodies. Can you tell that I love WordPress? Oh, and WordPress theme authors: get in there and add your theme to the compatibility list.

Sail Away is a 3 column fixed-width style that is very easy to modify and build upon. It is released under the Public Domain and tested in the latest versions of Firefox, IE, and Opera. Enjoy!

This season I’m torn. I mean I really love all the contestants, especially Carly Smithson and this guy, Michael Johns, who is terrific! He reminds me very much of a young Jim Morrison. This week’s mentor was Dolly Parton, and Michael does a wonderful blues version of her song “It’s All Wrong, But It’s All Right”.
Enjoy!

I’ve upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.5 and everything went smoothly. As far as I can tell, all plugins are working correctly. I did have to upgrade a few of them but now with this version’s new automatic plugin upgrade function, it was simple and fast! I’m very pleased! Now you no longer have to keep downloading the new plugin versions, unzip them and FTP them to your server. You can do everything from your WordPress admin. Nice!

I really like the new dashboard. I like the fact that I can edit it now without needing a special plugin to do it. The look of the admin area is very slick, and I think it will be easier for new WordPress users to understand everything. Only time will tell, of course.

I have about 10 more blogs to update and though I’m not sure I’ll get to them all today, I know now that I won’t have any serious problems. Thank goodness! Have you upgraded your WordPress blog yet? If so, did you run into any difficulties?
