The much anticipated WordPress 2.5 was released earlier today.  This is a pretty significant update and a ton of new features were added, one of the most notable being the redesigned Dashboard.

There are just too many features for me to describe, so just check out the WP 2.5 blog post for all the information.

I updated my personal blog in less than 10 minutes without any problems.

I see that many blogs, including my own, use MyBlogLog to track visitors to their sites among other features.  One of the most notable features is the MyBlogLog widget that displays your recent visitors and other info.  I’m sure many of you have seen it on various blogs.  Well I just noticed today that they have updated the widget with a new look and new functionality. 

This was apparently updated in February, but there didn’t seem to be much talk about it, and I still see many people using the old widget so I figured some don’t even know about it.  To get your new widget just log in to your MyBlogLog account and click Widget, and configure and get your new code.

While you are at it, feel free to stop by and join my community as well.
