Upgrade to Wordpress 2.1.2
Mark on Mar 18th 2007
I’ve finally upgraded from my original installation of Wordpress 1.5.2 to Wordpress 2.1.2, mainly to take advantage of the Akismet spam catcher. I’ve been getting 3 dozen spam comments a day, which I’ve had to manually delete, but hopefully I won’t see any more spam now. I was going to upgrade earlier, to Wordpress 2.1.1, but my procrastination has paid off, because a hacker broke into the Wordpress download site and added a back door to that version.
I don’t know if you, as a reader, will notice much of a difference right now. But, “when I get around to it”, I think I’ll install a new theme - hopefully one that handles wide screens more gracefully.

OK, I “got around to it” quite quickly. After a quick trawl through the Wordpress themes directory, I found Greenland, a left-sidebar, fluid width, clean theme with pages in the top menu. It might be a little too clean for me, and I’m not sure about the colour… and I’ve also manually hacked the style file to have a little less wasted space to the left, and to make the widths of the various page elements a little wider. But overall it’s close to what I was looking for!
