The new dashboard in WordPress 2.5 is a lot smoother than previous versions. The UI took me a few minutes to get accustomed to but setting up plugins, and the widgets was a cinch.

Getting WordPress up wasn’t too hard, it was getting Apache to start accepting the traffic on http://blog.ondabside.com. After spending a couple hours on the issue it ended up being a configuration change I had to made in the settings section of the WordPress admin.

I’m on my vista box now but there’s a great link on how to setup WordPress in Ubuntu from scratch.
