Wordpress 2.6 is almost out, which may or may not change my plans. I could have seen this coming, I suppose. See, I was working on a little script to update my theme files, but if multiple blogs can share the same wp-content directory, then maybe I don’t need my script?

My initial thoughts, based on what I gathered from a couple Dashboard clicks:

1. I’m glad I’ll be able to activate several plugins at once, this will save me some time. I tried to do this with w/ MySQL but for some reason you can’t just copy the options from an existing blog, the numbers don’t match up, maybe.

2. Looking forward to trying out Gears, I just downloaded GoogleGearsSetup.exe, I’ll check it out tonight. I would love to see Flash go away, maybe Gears is a step in that direction?

3. Glad to hear WP is implementing shift-clicking, which I’ve waited for 14 years now. Shift-clicking has been around forever, even before Windows 3.1, it’s funny how slow the Internet evolves. My webmail had shift-clicking in IE for a while, but it never worked in Firefox. Anyway, saves time/energy clicking off spam/junk, thanks WP!!!
