Yes I do.
My old theme, however cool-looking, depended very heavily on A) a huge wide banner image at the top and B) dynamic image replacement for the post titles. Result: long loading times. And of course I sometimes have the attention span of a stressed hamster on meth,thus I got bored with the look.

This theme, by the way, is called GenkiTheme 1.0, and is available right here. Of course I’ve edited it here and there, but I kind of dig the cleanliness while still looking colorful and…well…cheery.

Hope you dig it too.

The blog is low on updates now, I’m getting my brain detailed on a VMware training this week.

In case you’re wondering: it’s pretty good. Good teacher, and I’m actually learning some new facts and features here and there. Plus the lunches are good

The first update for WordPress 2.5 is out, aptly numbered 2.5.1. Get it and upgrade, it’s quite painless

The long-awaited WordPress 2.5 was released this weekend, and of course I just had to try it.

The upgrade process is as easy as always:

• Make a backup,
• Deactivate your plugins,
• Overwrite your current WordPress directory from the downloaded TARball,
• Login and run the automatic upgrade scipt,
• Activate your plugins,
• Done!

The admin interface is quite different when you log in, but the new dashboard is easy to get used to and use, so no major learning curve ahead. I found all the features I used before very quickly, and everything works fine as expected. For my blog the upgrade broke nothing in my customisation, so the upgrade was extremely painless.

Get the upgrade.

Yes…well…ahem…erm…I guess I’ll give my blog another chance. The previous incarnations died because I either wanted to post too much which took up way too much time, or I restricted myself too much which meant I just didn’t have the content to put up.

I’ve also got rid of my previous default name ‘mark01′, mainly because people (i.e.: non-geeks) didn’t get it and thought my name was Marko (which it isn’t).

So, without further ado, here it is: Marked. All me, with loads of artificial additives.
