Wordpress 2.8 was released today, and brings some notable improvements to the platform. Enhanced widget control, over 790 bug fixes and many speed improvements (navigating through the control panel is downright snappy now!).

If you’re currently using a previous version of Wordpress, you’ve got a lot to gain from this update. At The Blog Studio, we’re currently offering an upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress for $150! The service includes a backup of your current site and database (an essential, yet often ignored step), as well as performing the upgrade itself. Some conditions apply, contact Lucia at +1 (647) 428-7038 or today for more details.

Packing up to go offline

Instead of writing this, I really should be packing. Tomorrow morning I’ve got a 6 hour drive with the kids and dog up to my favorite place on earth, Killarney Provincial Park. No place sings to me quite like this.

Getting ready to leave work is a harrowing experience. I’ve checked and doubled checked, and everything is covered. I’ve got an extremely capable couple of partners manning the desks back at the ranch. Still, it’s hard to shake that “what did I forget” feeling.

While I’m away, I hope to be taking tons of photos with my new camera. I’ve got what feels like 100 pounds of art supplies packed and ready too. Creatively, this should be a blast.

I’m back September 1, and I’ve got a couple of big announcements to make when I’m back. Enjoy the rest of August everyone!

WordPress 2.5 is available today for a sneak peek. It looks like the most major overhaul to date of the entire backend. I’m going to install it on a test account. Unless you backup your own blog daily, don’t use this test version.

Primetime Politics update

We’ve been very hard at work over at PrimetimePolitics.com adding new features and refining the design. The Featured Debate is now loading using Ajax, which speeds up the page load quite dramatically. I also recently added a bit of javascript that pulls in the favicons of the sites we’re linking to, which gives an immediate visual cue to what the site is about.

The hard work is really paying off. We’ve seen average daily visits jump from the low hundreds to 1100+ in just a few days. Of course, the content might have something to do with that.

We’ll be rolling out a very cool addition to the site early next week that we hope will really increase the usefulness of this already useful site.  Stay tuned for more!
