I haven’t been updating this site, despite much desire to start again, however since I use WP less and less, I tend to neglect this one. However, I recently discovered diigo, it has a nice little post to blog (sorta scribefire built in), which I’m testing out right now. Soon enough I’ll find out if it works as hoped, and if so, I might just start updating the site more often. In the meantime, here are some of the recent updates to WP as 2.5 is quite belated. (More on that later).
