Wordpress, the most popular blogging software on the internet has reached version 2.5 with plenty of improvements and new features.

The new version has a cleaner and faster “dashboard” which is now largely widget based. The widgets provide posting statistics, latest comments and popular Wordpress plugins.

Wordpress 2.5 also comes with a multi file upload facility with a progress bar to allow the Wordpress administrator to keep an eye on upload progress. Wordpress will also handle Exif data so it can extract photo data into custom fields of a template. The search facility now works with posts and pages which is useful if the Wordpress install is being used more as a content management system rather than a blog.

Full features can be viewed at Wordpress.org

We have just received the following announcement from Nominet:
“We are pleased to report the outcomes of our AGM held on 30 April 2008.

A formal poll was held, using weighted voting, for the election of
non-executive directors. Jim Davies and Gordon Dick were elected to serve
on the Board of Nominet UK for a period of two years. 440 members voted,
15.84% of the electorate and 4,632,944 votes were cast, 60.17% of the
total number of votes.

So Jim Davies and Gordon Dick were elected to Nominet’s board (good luck to them).

On Resolution 6..

A formal poll was held, using weighted voting, for special resolution 6.
60.60% voted in favour. The resolution was not passed.

A success for TWS barring a High Court Appeal and a success it would seem for the lawyer Jim Davies who is a candidate Board Elections.

clipped from www.theregister.co.uk Secondly, the panel considered the crucial (and more broadly relevant) question of how much control TWS had over what appeared on the parking site. It accepted that TWS had not interfered with the content of myspace.co.uk, including when ads relating to social networking began to appear. Rather, they had been generated and updated by Sedo’s software, so it was natural that MySpace’s rapid rise be reflected.

I came across this Wordpress Tutorial on Youtube, which gives a very good instruction on installing and configuring a new Wordpress Theme to your Blog:

The only thing to point out is that the paths may be slightly different on your blog installation. For instance on a Plesk servers your Wordpress will be installed in the httpdocs folder. Lets say you installed Wordpress in the blog directory (ie http://www.yourdomain.com/blog) then once you have downloaded the theme and uploaded it using Filezilla (or the FTP programme of your choice) then navigate to:httpdocs/blog/wp-content/themes

(Replacing “blog” with name of the directory you installed Wordpress).

If however you installed Wordpress in the root of your web space then simply navigate to:

httpdocs/wp-content
