Waiting on the WordPress 2.1 update

I always say wait on upgrades to key software and the newest version of WordPress is no exception. Let somebody else work the kinks out while I keep getting work done. I’ll get the same new gee-whiz features a week or two later while avoiding all the disasters and head aches suffered by the early adopters. I have a cheap Mac mini at home and one of its main roles is as a testbed of new or updated software.

Thankfully, some people ignore my advice. I recently discovered Matt Keegan’s blog, The Article Writer, thanks to MyBlogLog. And Matt has updated his site with WordPress 2.1. He had a few problems and I’ll be interested to follow his progress before making my move.

P.s. Minor quibble but I don’t like the format of blogs like Article Writer that post abbreviated entries on the front page forcing you to click around to catch up on the latest posts.
