This video is from about a month ago, but is pretty interesting. It is a good discussion about the future of WordPress and some of the things that they are working on.
At least I found it interesting.
WordPress – Categories vs Tags
I use WordPress and have always struggled with the difference between categories and tags. There has been no real analogy for those so I could place it in my mind on how to use them.
Well I was listening to The WordPress Podcast and they were discussing the best part of WordCamp Dallas and someone put it into perspective for me.
The best way I have seen it described is that tags are the index and categories are the table of contents. It has really helped me understand and fine-tune my blog.
Thanks for doing The Voices of WordCamp Dallas. It has really helped me and I wasn’t even there.

WordPress 2.5 RC2 is out
WordPress 2.5 RC2 is now out for review and comment and you can watch a screencast of what is coming. I am quite encouraged by what is coming.
Check out the post and screencast on the WordPress.org site.
WordPress Release Candidate 1 is out
WordPress RC1 is now out. That means they are getting closer, but they have missed their deadline by over a week now.
If you don’t want to download RC1, take a look at the sneak peak on the WordPress.Org site. It has some screen shots and interesting information.
I sure hope it is worth it, so far it looks like it is worthy.
WordPress 2.5 Tomorrow
For all of you who use the stand-alone version of WordPress, WordPress 2.5 is released tomorrow, March 10.
This looks to be a substantial release with a lot of new cool features.
To see what is coming for WordPress 2.5, check out the official WordPress site.
To see a discussion and summary, check out the blog post in the Blog Herald by Lorelle VanFossen, WordPress 2.5 in Two Weeks, New Hot Media Library, Instant Upgrades, Theme Designers Lack Inspiration, More Plugin Vulnerabilities Found.
I haven’t downloaded any of the betas, but I will be updating this as soon as I can.
Working my way into shape
Well I have been trying to lose weight with diet for about a year-and-a-half and I have managed to lose about 30 pounds, but have plateaued out. I needed to do something to keep it going.
To help out, I joined Fitness 19 and got a trainer to get me started. It has been fun and I am getting into it.
My trainer is also helping me with my nutrition and I am going to work on better tracking how many calories I burn.
To keep track of my progress, I have set-up a new blog just for that. You can find it at westminsterworkout.wordpress.com. Take a look. I can always use a little encouragement.
Great Blog
My sister in-law just moved from New York City to Madison, Wisc., and she has started a blog to share her experiences moving from one of the biggest cities in the world, to a decent size city in the Midwest.
You can find her posts at Big Apple Cheese.
The writing is great and the posts are pretty interesting describing the differences between the two cities.
Take some time and enjoy.
WordPress Developers Skip 2.4, to release 2.5 in March
Because of holidays and changes in coding, the WordPress development team is going to skip its next release and combine everything into version 2.5.
They say they have some good things coming and changes to the admin area.
I look forward to this new release.
You can read more on the Weblog Tools Collection, 2.4 Skipped 2.5 is next.
WordPress 2.3.2
There is a security update for WordPress, version 2.3.2.
According to their post today, it fixes some urgent security problems.
WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations. Get 2.3.2 now to protect your blog from these disclosures.
