The WordPress team has released its latest upgrade to the open-source, PHP-based blogging system. The major upgrade seems to do with their new templating system, which seems to be working pretty well, although I had to tweak out a few things to get their default template to work. As you can see, I have modified it a little and will be making more changes to it in the future. I had to turn off pretty permalinks to get the previous entry links to work. I’m using an image rotating script I found to make the header image swap randomly.
A few things are still needing work. For example, the feed links at the bottom of the page are not working correctly, or at least, they’re not for me. One thing I think will really help WordPress is that the new default template is nice. They’ve had trouble competing on the template front, but the adoption of the new templating system should create a lot of interest.
