I’ve upgraded Wordpress from 2.2.3 to 2.5.1, which is a fairly substantial upgrade - especially the admin backend is pretty different. However, this did break several of my hacks (recent posts in sidebar, gallery, etc), but it’s been fixed now.

This should ensure the continued smooth operation of the site, as well as increase both functionality and security.

The problem with the character-not-recognized “box of death” has also been corrected - I fixed that a while ago on my own WP install, but didn’t get around to doing it here until now. So funky characters, like Word’s concaternated “…” character, the angled quotes, etc works fine now.
