There’s a new version of my favourite blogging software, WordPress, available. It’s called Ella after the wonderful Ella Fitzgerald. WordPress is one of the great success stories of open software and proof that open licenses can result in great innovation.
I tried to install its commercial competitor, Movable Type, last week and to say it was a nightmare was being kind. It was horrible. Mind you, I’m not the biggest fan of back end computer stuff so I’m sure it’s easy enough for anyone with any skill in the area. But given that I could install WordPress with my eyes closed (almost) goes to show how usable the system is. I guess WordPress with its five minute manual install (and the fact that most decent hosts provide a one click install) has spoilt me rotten!
In tribute, here’s a video of Ella singing one of my favourite Rogers and Hart songs - Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.
