Some very long overdue system maintenance, delayed due to the festive season.
WordPress
Updated the version of WordPress running at http://blog.maskil.info from version 2.8.6 to 2.9.1 using SimpleScripts, by far the easiest way to perform these upgrades. Every home blog should have one!
Thesis
NOT yet upgraded to Thesis 1.6. I’ll probably schedule this for the week ending 2010/01/23.
Plugins
Updated the following plugins using the all new WP 2.9.x batch plugin upgrade feature. The most difficult part of the whole exercise was to find the option on the WP Dashboard menu. It appears under Tools, Upgrade and NOT under Plugins, Update Available (or whatever), where one might expect it to appear. Hopefully they’ll fix this is a future release, as it seems to have been a "gotcha" for many.
