New WordPress

Just started to try out this new version of WordPress. Been working on a blog for a research project on "Thinking Globalization Through Music."
WP 2.0 seems pretty neat. The interface is better, more efficient. Several features added directly to the post-writing page.
Like the fact that it's freely hosted. Good way to try out a few things. The hosted version is pretty barebones and we can't install plug-ins, but it's pretty decent. Certainly on par with Blogspot (Blogger) in terms of simply hosting and a bit more convenient as a way to publish posts. Still can see value in hosting it ourselves.
