Aldenta: Web Nourishment

It’s official. WordPress 2.5 is now out with a crisp new admin interface and great new features. They’ve even redone the website. Here are some of my favorite changes:

• A beautiful new admin interface.
• A much more intuitive flow when making a post.
• Multiple instant file uploads.
• Thumbnail, medium and full-sized image options (and you can change the image dimensions in Settings).
• A quick way to display your photos as a gallery
• Easily add/edit tags so no more plugins are needed.
• A visual editor that doesn’t break your code (this one is great for my clients).
• Search now looks at posts and pages.

I’ve always thought that WordPress is one of the best blogging and content management systems. It’s incredibly intuitive for the user (even more so now) and extremely flexible for developers.

Thanks so much to everyone who has helped with WordPress!

CompUSA is running a $30 rebate special today and tomorrow on OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Now is a great time to pick up a copy if you’re planning on upgrading. As you can see, I’ll be installing mine after I finish this post (and backup my stuff).

Last night, at 6:00 PM, Apple and AT&T released the iPhone (to most of you this is no surprise). I’m not sure why this tends to be the case these days but the first thing to appear online after the release were multiple sites taking the iPhone apart and putting it through some stress tests (*tear*). Instead of being interested in the functionality of the $500/$600 gadget lets take a look at the guts! Such geeks… of course, I’ve looked at every photo.

In case you weren’t aware of it, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates did a joint interview at D5 last night. Steve and Bill have contributed incredible things to the world and appear to have a great deal of respect for each other. Check out all of the video clips from the event.

Above is the Highlight Reel with some of the funniest portions of the interview.
