This post isn’t about any dramatic or sweeping changes going on around here, I just felt I would keep people in the loop in case you’ve noticed some stuff going on in the past week or two.
First of all, you will probably notice that at this point in time the design of the site has been changed. This is due to the fact that along with the recent upgrade on the server to WordPress2.5, I have finally done away with K2. K2′s developers are “hard at work” (using their words – not that I don’t believe they are) to publish a release that fully supports WP2.5, but honestly I don’t much care anymore. K2 was a huge boon when the core WordPress installation didn’t do a lot of the cool functionality that K2 could provide, but nowadays the added bonuses just aren’t worth the headaches to me whenever the need to upgrade WordPress comes about. The past two upgrades have gotten completely messed up thanks to K2, meaning I couldn’t use the theme without some form of a “patch”; the upgrade to 2.5 rendered the entire admin section useless without either performing a database removal of the reference to K2 or, thanks to one intelligent soul who figured this out and shared the solution with others, adding some code to the admin login script so that you could actually log in to manage the site. Sorry K2, it was fun while it lasted but I’m moving on. It’s true that other themes may themselves have unforeseen compatibility issues with future upgrades, but they typically don’t hook into the core functionality of WordPress nearly as much as K2 did so future speed bumps will be much easier to overcome.
