The latest version of WordPress, 2.9, has just been released.
Upgrading was really quite easy. I logged into my WordPress dashboard and saw the message saying that WordPress 2.9 is available, click here to upgrade. So, I did. The upgrade screen reminded me to backup my database, a sensible suggestion, so I quickly clicked through to [...]
I’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity to work on a high profile website such as TheChive.com and just recently they’ve celebrated their 1st Birthday.

A recent client project increased my exposure to integrating jQuery with WordPress.
