Hello world!

First test on WordPress 2.1 I must say that the admin interface is a lot prettier than the last version I saw. Very nice. I especially like some of the little touches, like how the deleted posts gradually fade out of existence right before your eyes. It used to be that (I think the last version of WordPress I worked with was 1.5) deleting comments would cause the page to reload with the comments removed. Not nearly as slick as WordPress 2.1. Very nice indeed.

I am looking forward to playing around with the various plug-ins available for this blog software. I am also curious to see how easily I will be able to combat spam.
