I manually upgraded the blog for my site statementofpurpose.com this morning. It was a long and tedious process but was worth the effort. So we went from version 1.5.x to version 2.5.1. The last it was updated was in January 2006!
The new layout for Wordpress 2.5 is awesome and they have ajaxified almost everything. Very slick and easy to use. I especially like that they simplified the navigation. Now there are just 4 major tabs for managing your blog and this is very intuitive. I hope we can replicate this simplicity on the HubSpot platform.
I found this awesome theme (thanks Antbag) which I used on Markitechture.com, here, and now on the SOPtalk blog. Hopefully Seemantini, Hardik and I will be regular in posting to the blog. The last post also was in 2006. Shame on us but that is going to change!
Feel free to drop by SOP and check out the blog or the site if you are applying for school. We have some useful advice on writing your statement of purpose and some sample essays.
