Blog updated to WordPress 1.5

Posted on February 17, 2005 by Sandip Bhattacharya

Updated my blog to WordPress 1.5. The new release has lots more than the last version.

Currently it is running the default Kubrick theme, which I don’t find too bad. Not too many new templates available right now for this version of WP, so I will wait till I decide to change the theme later.

One feature I like is the new anti-spam features. There is an option to prevent open-proxies from posting. You can tag pending comments as spam, so I assume there is an internal blacklist.

I have disabled all my previous plugins, till I find replacements for 1.5.

So far so good. Ah yes, setting up the Feedburner redirects took some time. The new .htaccess is hideously long.

    Hi Sandeep, I have been lurking around your blog for a while and find it interesting. I was actually hooked by your Kolagroup, since I find such communities who maintain their identity and relations stimulating.

    Anyway, I just wanted to ask why you changed from Typo3? Since I have also been contemplating using one of Typo3 / Drupal / WordPress for my ‘soon to be launched’ site.

    Hi Gaurav, I dont think I ever used typo3 on my personal site! I used to use Drupal, but now I use WordPress exclusively for blogging, and drupal for storing miscellaneous information. Why I use WordPress, is because I prefer using a specialized tool for a job (What can I say, I come from the *nix world).

    My official site (http://www.puroga.com) is in Typo3, by the way. Even though I am contemplating switching over to perhaps Drupal. Typo3 is great for having a load of static pages, but adding extensions or even modifying the theme expects you to learn its very extra-ordinary and extensive typoscript language. For somebody who is into a lot of different software packages, it is very difficult to keep all in your head. :) At least, in Drupal and Mambo you write in PHP mostly. :-P
