WordPress 2.3 is out and I have updated to it without incident. The big new addition is tags, though I will need to update my themes to view those.

Now that we’re on WordPress, it’s not necessary. I blog it...

10 Year Anniversary of Philip Greenspun’s Dynamic Site
At Philip Greenspun’s Weblog he notes the 10th anniversary of his personal site, which mutated into photo.net, and which caused him to learn a great deal about building web community with database-backed websites, and so in turn he wrote books and put up sites and inspired people like me. Kudos on that anniversary!
