The interface for easily adding/modifying Pages (and making connections to theme pages) is probably the best addition to 1.5, but I’m afraid that as far as using Pages as ‘About Me’ or ‘Links’ sections, they’re simply not good enough for dynamic content such as user profiles or poll archives. I’ll figure it out, though—I always do.

All of the RSS links in the Feeds section of the sidebar are broken.

For a list of some of your urls, you can try a search on http://www.newsgator.com/feeds.aspx

I miss the footer as well. It still says ubercool, though, so it’s not all bad.

Also, it was far better documented than it was when it was in alpha, which isn’t surprising, so some of my changes were from thing I didn’t know existed, like page.php – to style pages, in my case I only have one, the about page.

I was working wiith 1.2 a couple of months, on a project that I later dumped, in favour of a more powerful solution, and so much of what I was trying to achive would now be very easy in 1.5.

My blog has become far more popular than I ever expected, but that is a different story, and one I plan to blog on the 4th March, when it’ll be 3 months old… How time flies… How many spam comments I deleted… *sigh…* Anyhow, I’ll be discussing a lot with myself in my upcoming blog post :D

As for what colour an orange is, pink, final answer.

The url I have is http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/rss20.xml

My RSS reader does notify me, by going red, and also adding a article with the error, however my reader doesn’t deal with windows hibernating very well, in that some feeds stop working until you close and reopen the app… and also some feeds go down and come back now and again, so i don’t pay too much attention

On a sidenote, a went through a couple of weeks, where i tried using lots of other newsreaders, but none offered the simpliciy and functions that my current one has, so i ended back with it, with all it faults

Dave: I’m torn on that one. It turns out that, thanks to my not paying attention, I’d provided about a dozen different ways to get RSS feeds. I’d really like to consolidate them into one place. I’m still trying to find out what all the old URLs were so I can figure out how to harmonize everything. Meanwhile, RSS readers really ought to tell the user if a feed has disappeared.

I ask becuase
a) I only noticed you had posted, becuase i saw PhotoMatt link to this post, so didn’t know my feed needed updating

b) To update the feed url, i have to delete the feed and re-add it, which means i lose all your old posts (I keep some unread if i want to go back to them)

c) It just seems like a nice thing to do :)

Thanks

I’m sure you have been asked this before… but have you considered releasing your WordPress style (now theme) as a theme for others (slipping into praise mode) like me who really like your clean 2.5 column layout (end praise mode) can use it. Not obviously all the extras you have done (neat menus) but core layout with changeable pictures in head.

I can now move all my code to themes files and I’m genuinely excited at the prospect of running a clean 1.5 install. The WordPress authors have graped the nettle and produced a stunning update that combines the ease of use of previous versions with some extreme power and extensibility options.

My jaw nearly dropped when I first installed WP… it was a dream compared to the convoluted MovableType installation.

I think this version may even deserve a 2.0 tag. :)
