Wordpress Upgrades completed = new Features!

It’s been a whole *cough* three days in the making but finally my blog is upgraded and working.  You’ll notice that the theme and wordpress versions have been upgraded by about four versions, yet it still looks the same!  Maybe some one can make me a new header image?!  Get the existing one here.

Still I have added the following features:

Front of House:

Mobile browsers - Mobile browsers will now get a much faster view using XHTML thanks to Wordpress.mobi.  iPhone/Touch’s Safari browser will get the full version due to their larger screens.

Share/Syndication - Your favourite sharing and syndications services are now supported using the icons at the bottom of each post.

Comments - You can now subscribe to comments that you have posted to be notified when they are updated.  There should be Avatar support too but I haven’t quite got to checking that, though I’m looking forward to seeing all the pretty photos :-)

PDF Export - You can now export posts in PDF9 format.

Ratings - You are now able to rate posts, I’m really interested in this feedback to help me improve.

Relative Dates - Instead of hard dates on comments you’ll now see “Today” and “Yesterday” etc.

Back end:

Fluency Admin - A new cleaner administration interface, so much easier to work with.

Wordpress 2.5.1 - Not quite the latest version but I’m tracking the K2 theme below for stability.

Spam Protection - Askimet and some others …

K2 Theme - What can I say, it’s clearly the best written Ajax powered wordpress theme in the business.

One Click Updater - Allows me to upgrade to new plugins and theme’s automagically.

Lightbox 2 - To allow me to manage images for small and large screens, as well as fast browsing.

Google Analytics - Helps me keep track of the visitors and most important downloads/articles.

Bango Mobile - Testing this to see if I can begin to track mobile browsers visiting the site.

In all you can see that there have been massive changes to my blog, some are still settling in and so I appreciate comments.  If you find any problems, cant use the mobile version or any of the new features break then do tell me!

    Well, it’s certainly nice and quick to load the mobile version - as long as I get the same content as on the normal site it’s fine with me!
