Is There Food is now running on the latest and greatest version of Wordpress: 2.3 aka Dexter (officially named after Gordon, but I prefer to think of it as Morgan).

Everything’s gone quite well, and I’m pleased to see that my existing theme is still working. K2’s latest release is calling to me, particularly as it now supports 3 columns in a slightly more elegant manner than the version you see here. However, it’s got lots of javascript and additional trimmings that the minimalist in me doesn’t really care for. I might do some tweaking soon though.

Tag migration went very well - I went from the Simple Tagging plugin to Wordpress’s shiny new built in tags with no pain at all. And Christine has kindly provided new tools for Dexter’s tagability.

Things appear to be slightly quicker, the built in plugin update notification is a really nice touch, and overall I’m impressed. Given that I feared for the future of Wordpress when they announced their tag intention (way to alienate all your existing users) the way the migration tools for the major tagging plugins have been included, and the way they seem to work pretty damn well, has left me with warm and cuddly feelings.

Great job Team Wordpress.
