Testing WordPress 2.0 with a fresh install
Well this is my first post using a WP 2.0 install. As a result of doing an unbelievably moronic move, I had accidentally deleted my wp-config.php file instead of backing it up and of course my webhost had no backup, so what turned into a test of upgrading from WP 1.5 to WP 2.0 on a blog that didn’t have any content I cared about (just in case it went horribly wrong) ended up into a test of a fresh install of wordpress 2.0 to a new mysql database, etc, because no longer had the requisite info from the wp-config.php file needed to do an actual upgrade.
As I’ve played around a little with wordpress.com blogging, the new UI wasn’t a big shocker to me. And I like the new WYSIWYG interface (which is easily turned off for those who aren’t interested or don’t need it). Personally, while I can code HTML with the best of them, when I’m blogging I just want to write, and the easiest way to do that and have things be formatted the way I want them to is with a WYSIWYG editor.
