For reasons that still elude me, I'm disappointed that the WordPress developers have continued their tradition of not bundling some form of comment previewing with the generic distribution. Seems such an obvious feature to include so more sites might start using it. I can't be the only one who's uncomfortable posting marked-up comments on WP blogs without previewing them first to make sure they'll display as intended. And blogs often don't specify which markup, if any, is supported. Or maybe I've missed some "secret" method of comment previewing other people are using to work around a blog's lack of it? Any ideas are appreciated. Hopefully the wordpress.com folks notice and act on my suggestion to make comment previewing available for blogs hosted there since that's where I started helping my wife set up one earlier today. Thanks, Daniel!

See Tim Gaden's Hawk Wings blog for an example. Have you considered adding comment previewing here? See Tim Gaden’s Hawk Wings blog for an example.

I just upgraded to MT 3.2 and was similarly impressed with how seamless the process was. I jumped into MT fairly early and don't want to learn something new, though I keep looking wistfully over at Wordpress and Textpattern. Maybe someday.... Cool.

That was indeed easy! :-) Regarding the permalink format: I'm using "/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%", which I think I really useful. It means the URL contains both the year and month of the post, an easy-reference convenience. I was inspired by your post to also do the 2.0 upgrade. That was indeed easy! :-)

Just like to point out quickly and clearly that it was <em>not</em> a WordPress 2.0 upgrade issue. It took me going in and deciding to disable some of my old plugins to get that problem to show up :) Fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out. D’oh!
