I don’t like WordPress 2.3
It’s screwed up. Plain and simple. Speaking of simple, I’ve seen a lot of talk about an importer for “Simple Tags” but I can’t find it. I think a lot of people are getting “Simple Tags” confused with “Simple Tagging”. Even some of the bigger bloggers keep repeating it, and I think it’s false.
- Update:
Looks like there are 2 “Simple Tags” plugins. The one everyone is talking about is the successor to Simple Tagging. It’s nothing like the one I use. So the import still doesn’t do me any good. If you want to check out the new one, visit the Simple Tags plugin page.
Another problem with the 2.3 tags, they take people away from your site. When someone clicks on a tag in your post, the go to the tag listing for WordPress.com. That does me no good at all, my blog isn’t on their .com service. I’d rather keep using the tags that go to Technorati, at least it’s not limited to WordPress.com blogs.
WP 2.3 also broke a lot of plugins. For a piece of software that relies so much on outside developers that seems like a big mistake. it’s one thing to deprecate something, at least people know that it’s going to disappear later on. It’s another thing to just drop something and break things.
Lucky for me I only upgraded this blog to test out 2.3. I’ll keep the previous version on my others until some of these problems are fixed.
