I love that Matt Mullenweg and his crew over at WP opted to name the latest version of Wordpress after all-time awesome chanteuse Ella Fitzgerald. I’m also pretty damn happy with the way Ella is working on my personal blog. It seems a lot faster and more efficient. I’m particularly jazzed about the feature that allows you to “set any ‘page’ to be the front page of your site, and put the latest posts somewhere else, making it much easier to use WordPress as a content management system.
So if you’re interested in upgrading your blog to 2.1, but you’re nervous to take WP apart and put it back together all by yourself, ping me. We can upgrade you to 2.1 for (most sites) around $200.
