WordPress Upgrade and Unplanned Outages Ahead

First post with WordPress 2.0.4 . I am using its pretty blog editor. I finally upgraded from WP 1.5.2 . Maybe I should feel a little embarrassed taking so long, but if it is not broken, why fix it?

The user experience in WP2 is much improved from 1.5 , though I already knew this through Julia’s use of WordPress.com. The WordPress team does an amazing job at blazing forward. The reason I upgraded now was actualy to ease my migration of foolswisdom.com to another hosting service, AND I wanted to try this elegantly simple theme Sandbox.

I will be moving this web from XL Internet to TextDrive some time this month. So if foolswisdom.com disappears, please do come back in a few days ;-)

Update 2006-09-07: My blog search is currently broken. Use Google. This relates to the ~tilde in my folder structure and should resolve itself when I change hosts (and folder structures).
