Despite the fact that Wordpress released version 2.1 almost 30 days ago, I still haven’t gotten around to upgrading my blog. Why? Well, one reason should be the annoying fact that I upgraded this blog 3 times in the span of two weeks because the WP people released version 2.0.6, 2.0.7 and 2.1 days apart from each other. It was annoying how I’d login to my site and then see the notice up on the Dashboard that a new version is up yet again after I’ve upgraded days before. >.<

But the main reason now would be because on the advent of 2.1, several of the WP template tags have been deprecated and they won’t work with future versions anymore. Most of the tags I use that are now deprecated are:

• wp_list_cats
• wp_list_categories
• get_archives
• and the wonky listing of links in 2.1

Yes, I’m being lazy but I want to see some more changes in WP before I do some remodeling. Or maybe I’ll just wait for new version to come up.
