Yeah, I upgraded it already. What a smart move on my part.

If you want to take your blog to the next level, wp 2.6 ver is a dream come true.

@MsPuraVida: WordPress has always "appreciated" podcasts, so I'm unclear as to your reference. The podcasts listed in this news report are podcast which focus specifically on WordPress, not include WordPress information and tips once in a while.

Stephen: Thanks for the correction! Jacob: Others are talking about it and Ryan has it listed in his features list for 2.6. Things come and go out of beta, so we'll see what happens for it with this version. I'm very excited about what you are doing with the Google Summer of Code and eager to see that implemented, but for which version? :D Robert: Cute. Thanks for sharing.

Here’s a fun poem I wrote a few weeks back about my experiences with blogging…

(probably not worthy of a tune but occasionally one does need some relief from the “serious” business of blogging)

Rantings: “The Blogging Curse”

(After spending too much time on the laptop…)

Internet,
Wordpress,
SEO,
Digg it man!!

Out of control,
out of mind,
I’m hooked…
piddly dial-up connection!

Instead of writing and posting,
I’ve been obsessed!
The right theme,
the perfect widget,
the ideal plugin!

De.licio.us!
Feedburner
and RSS feeds,
not to mention comments.

Engrossed in stats…
How can I attract more readers?
More bots…
than real people,
embarrassing!

Optimisation,
tagging
and stylesheets,
gibberish.

In the meantime…
over 1000 broken links,
posts without excerpts
and tabs playing up in Firefox!

Blogging…
what is it all about really?
The writing,
the playing…
or both?

What purpose does it serve,
whether I have two sidebars
or just one?

Customise that header!!
Google it!
Add that feed!
Check out the forums!

Time…
Full-time…
Where do they find it?
These folks.

As for me,
got to cut back,
find that balance
and get back to blogging!

I don’t think it is a good idea to discuss Automatic Upgrading of WordPress at this time. It appears that the next iteration of the upgrading will be DD32′s project which will be allowing for installing and searching for plugins from the WordPress administration panel.

I completely expect 2.8 or 2.9 to have the feature which will upgrade your WordPress installation for you.

Discussing it now, might get user’s hopes up for something that isn’t going to come for another few months (if even this year).

Thanks for the mention(s), but you have an incorrect link under “Manage More Than One Blog”. The Virtual Multiblog link is: http://striderweb.com/nerdaphernalia/features/virtual-multiblog/
