378 CHAPTER 13 INTRODUCING WORDPRESS (Web server setup) Finally, version
378 CHAPTER 13 INTRODUCING WORDPRESS Finally, version 1.5, the current version, was released in February 2005. This version introduced the powerful and flexible templates and theme system, with the default now the beautiful Kubrik theme by Michael Heilemann. This release also saw the introduction of even stronger anti-spam measures. Perhaps one of the most significant parts of this release is that you can now use WordPress to manage static pages on your site. The administration system got yet another overhaul after user feedback, this time introducing the Dashboard, a page displaying news feeds from WordPress s development blog and a summary of your recent posts, comments, and more. Summary This chapter provided an overview of blogging and blogging software, and then introduced WordPress, the software covered in this part of the book. The next chapter will take you through a step-by-step installation of WordPress. I ll cover basic requirements and configuration, and explain some of the more advanced options. I ll introduce the project blog you ll build in this part of the book. Oh yes, I ll also walk you through making your first blog post!
