This marks my first post here on Blogvaria using the new and possibly better admin panel and features in WordPress 2.5. I’m also happy to report that all my plugins seems to work and that my theme handled the upgrade painlessly.

I’ve been running this blog on WordPress 2.2.x for some time now, but after reading several warnings about Technorati (and possibly others) planned index exclusion of vulnerable blogs I’ve decided it’s time to upgrade. After a quick test on localhost I didn’t see any reason not to go ahead.

However, things might break and I would really appreciate feedback in case you discover something out of the ordinary.

More updates will follow I’m sure, and soon a new theme which I will share as always.

To participate you need to remove all CSS from your website, stripping it entirely of its design. However, I only noticed this today (too late for once) so I’ll be in for next year, for sure!

While I’m updating my frontpage I’ll leave you with this funny news flash:
