So here I am, writing this post from my iPhone. Very cool.

Just a quick note to say that a new version of WordPress has been released.

I skipped over the last version but think I’ll definitely upgrade this time. Interested to see the new features such as “WordPress Widgets” and the promise of “speed optimizations”.

Download it here.

The first thing I did after creating this site a few months ago was install Google Analytics. I’ve already spoken about what a great service they provide. Anyway, after messing about in Analytics, I found the feature for viewing “keywords”.

Basically, I can see that a) people are finding my site by searching Google and b) what keywords they are entering. And the thing that struck me was how well Cherry Street was performing in Google. I was appearing on the first page of results after 1 week!

From the man who created Wordpress, Matt Mullenweg, comes Akismet. A spam blocker for your blog.

I haven’t tried this out yet, but I do plan to install this soon. My blog is only a week old, so don’t think the spammers have caught wind of my site yet. (KNOCK on wood)

But based on my excellent experience with Wordpress, I would guess that this is an invaluable tool.
