This afternoon I installed WordPress 2.2 and WordPress Widgets to Jack’s weblog, exempli gratia. He will probably make some changes, but I am pleased with the effect so far.

WordPress 2.2
This morning I installed WordPress 2.2, which has been available for about a week. I decided to try WordPress Widgets, which meant I needed to use a Widgets enabled theme. For now, I am trying a theme called Twister 1.0. WordPress Widgets, which enables the easy rearrangment of sidebar items, are very slick. Update: Decided to use Mandigo instead. Let me know if you see any problems.
WordPress Upgrade
Without too much fuss, I upgraded our web logs to WordPress (Version 2.1.3). I had a moment of panic before I discovered that I also needed to update the LiveJournal Crossposter plugin, but now everything seems to be working as desired.
Akismet
Yesterday, I cleared my spam filter for this web log yesterday morning and have received 248 spam comments since then. Thank goodness for the Akismet utility, which only let one slip through in that time.
