I’ve updated the blog from WordPress 1.5 to WordPress 1.5.1. This means nothing to most of you, but it includes some security fixes and other minor improvements.

I have been thrilled with WordPress since I quit Blogger. It is much more powerful and flexible, and once you get it set up it’s a snap to use. Since it runs on the same web server as my web site itself, it’s not bothered by Blogger’s occasional responsiveness problems and outages. I highly recommend it — and, unlike Movable Type, the software is open source and free. You just have to find a web host that supports PHP and MySQL.
