Well, it's official, my website is now running b2evolution 1.8.1 RC1. This is a good thing! I ran into relatively few problems with upgrading other than the time it took to rewrite the skin.

There are a few changes now, it will now be necessary to moderate your comments in order to minimize problems with comment spam. I'm going to look at the ability to disable this feature for "trusted" users, I'll see what I can do.

With this new version, there are a couple of new plugins which I was able to implement pretty easily, as you can see below:

Display Mode: Basic, Enhanced.

I'll work on my gallery next , I found a pretty cool skin for that which I think I should be able to better merge it with my blog, so it looks like a more seamless transition. Let me know what you think.

Update:

Screw it, posts will automatically go through for now. That was more problematic than it was worth. You may also be aware that there is not a subscription option in order to receive an e-mail whenever there is a post. You will likely have to create a username for this to work correctly.
