Now, no one has probably noticed that, but I thought it was noteworthy. Well, if I did the upgrade right, no one noticed. Certainly, no one said anything if they did notice.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly, it was a Very Good Thing to have upgraded, but there are some differences that still throw me off a bit. First, there&#8217;s the whole new interface deal. It used to be that I had to deal with a pretty simple, text-only interface. Now, though, the whole thing has gone all WYSIWYG and it&#8217;s totally throwing me off. Especially because it edits HTML natively. I&#8217;m getting used to it, but, still, I have to remember little details like not just hitting &#8220;enter&#8221; when I want a new line instead of a whole new section\/paragraph. Secondly, the tools have really been improved. Linking and formating and everything else have been upgraded to match that slick new WYSIWYG interface, but they&#8217;ve added some HTML tools that they didn&#8217;t have before. Or, if they had them, didn&#8217;t showcase very well. Also improved is the preview section. Now, instead of just showing me a preview of the code in the post itself, WordPress previews the post as it would appear on the blog, with headers and footers and everything.<br \/>\nThe one thing, so far, that I don&#8217;t like is the way the new version updates the timestamp on the post. For the most part, it doesn&#8217;t. Once you save a post as a draft, it takes a timestamp and seems to hold that until you manually change it. Other than that, though, I really adore the new version.<\/p>\n<p>So, now you know.  Doesn&#8217;t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, one of the reasons for the upgrade was because I was developing plugins for WordPress. I showed you one a couple of weeks ago, and now, you can get to other one from my other blog. <a title=\"Moonie, the moonphase plugin\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ryumaou.com\/hoffman\/netgeek\/?page_id=1027\">Moonie<\/a>, the name of the plugin, is a little dodad that let&#8217;s you add the neat moonphase stuff to your WordPress blog. Now, after admiring it on my blog, you can have it for yourself.
