ANYTHING was better than what they used to have, and it would appear as though they’re using an updated version of TinyMCE since I can now post in Safari using the WYSIWIG! Yay!

Almost just as amazing as the interface is the extremely easy way to update my beta install of wordpress. Seriously SVN should replace downloading the .zip/.gzip every time a new version of WordPress is released because sweet jebus is it ever fast and it only replaces files that have been updated.

I SSH to the server, navigate to the folder where this site is, run

svn update

and voila. It’s ridiculously simple. Though I guess the trade-off is that I’m using buggy and unstable code. Hmm. I’m a wild and crazy guy!

SVN FOR THE WIN!

ANYWHO. So the site has been relaunched, which is sweet since the old design was quite, well … old.
