WordPress 2.3 upgrade complete

Well, I bit the bullet very soon after the 2.3 announcement went out. Here I am running 2.3 on this blog.

I had hoped that the new built-in tag support would emulate the functionality that I get from Simple Tags. However a brief test using information found here, revealed that the tagging mechanism appears to be limited to within this blog and doesn’t insert Technorati tags as I expected. Once I’ve got some sleep I’ll have another look.

Anyway, I need a really nice, simple, clean 2 or 3 column fluid theme – does anybody have any suggestions? I am very close to writing my own theme as I’m really struggling to find one that I can settle down with.

Technorati Tags: ,

  1. Yip, the new tagging system is a major disappointment! Seems like loads more work is required to make it really useful.

    I’ve only updated one blog so far to 2.3 and may well leave the rest along until the next release.

  2. @John – I only managed two hours sleep so my thoughts aren’t much further forward. But, on first impression, what this really needed was a couple of checkboxes that configure the tagging mechanism – one checkbox for Technorati, the other for what it currently implemented. Granted the “Import” options are pretty comprehensive and will pull all the Simple Tags forward to the 2.3 implementation.
