Get Tiger look for your WordPress blog today. It brings an updated look to the once-fresh WordPress backend.
It is a plugin which adds a style-sheet that overrides the default one. It makes the admin area look like a Mac app, and if you like those, this will be a treat.
And while you’re at it: get the latest (1.5.2) version of WordPress. A few fixes in there you would not want to miss, one of them being a little bug with XML-RPC blog-posting – postings never showed up on the site, but sat dead in the database. What is XML-RPC? It is a way to let other websites use yours – like me sending Jeppe’s portrait of me from Flickr to here using their forms. (I had trusted them with write permissions on the blog first. That was back before Flickr was bought by Yahoo, I think. But, I’d trust them anyway: these things are too much fun not to.)
I just learned that this standard, like RSS, once started in Dave Winer‘s mind. Who’s Dave Winer? Let’s just say he was an important man in making a few web standards.
