Another WordPress upgrade

I just completed the upgrade to the new WordPress 1.5 and am liking it a lot. Prior to the upgrade I was worried about converting my old style to the new theme system, but the new default theme is so much nicer than what I had that I’m really not planning to change it much at all.

There are some new changes in the comment system which I hope will help to reduce the number of comment and trackback spams that I have to moderate. (Averaging about 15-30 per day.) As part of that, I have enabled the option to require an e-mail address for all comment posters. That address will never be displayed publicly and I give you my word that I will never, ever spam you or give/sell/trade the address to anyone else! If this doesn’t work, I’ll require commenters to register/login and will disable unregistered commenting.

    Test comment from Pocket Internet Explorer. Mobile template works very nicely with Pocket IE in Windows Mobile 2003 SE!

    I wish I could take credit for it, but it’s pretty much all the work of others. I’m going to tweak the theme a bit to merge some of the style sheet additions that I made to the previous style, but I just seem to lack the skills necessary to create a theme like this. :)
