I took the jump and upgraded to WordPress 1.5… I've been running it on a test installation for about a month or so now. Unfortunately, the upgrade didn't go perfectly, so I've had to stuff around with things. It should all be fixed now.
Along with that, there's a new design, which is based on the popular Kubrick theme, by Michael Heilemann.
A couple of notable things I've added:
- A rotating banner across the top, featuring a couple of landscapes or pictures I've taken.
- Random photos from my Flickr account. (More on that later.)
- A photo gallery page that pulls the "photosets" directly from Flickr.
A couple of things didn't make it, however:
- Nested comments. I heavily modified Kubrick to get the comments the way I wanted, and when it came to integrating that with the nested comments code, I struggled. If I'm feeling masochistic in the future I might have another go.
- Subscribing to comments – not sure if this was used (are there even any readers out there?
), but it was causing conflicts.
That's about all I can think of, for now! Comments are welcome.
UPDATE: I did forget to mention one thing. The RSS feed has changed to http://www.higgs-family.net/~jeremy/feed/. I'm working on setting up a redirect that will solve any problems with people who are subscribed already.
