Updated to WordPress 2.3

Yet again the software that runs this blog, WordPress, has been updated and yet again it just works.  Thank you to the entire WordPress team and community for making this a preeminent PHP/MySQL open source product.  As one who likes being a tech and figuring out problems I almost find myself complaining that ”it’s just too easy to install or update WordPress”.  If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area and need help installing or upgrading WordPress attend the WordPress 2.3 Upgrade Party on September 26.
