23 Oct 09 Windows 7 is out, new tutorial, and site restructure

Windows 7 Released
Windows 7 was officially released yesterday and was the buzz on many blogs. I didn’t realize that people had operating system launch parties but hey, some people need any excuse to drink! Besides, that Windows cake looks tasty.

I’ll be upgrading soon, just because I like to have the latest version. I stuck with XP for years (after sticking with Windows ME for years, wow!) and switched to Vista with my new PC a few months ago. People are hopeful about Windows 7 — hopefully it works out better than the Vista release did.

New Tutorial
I added one new tutorial this week: PHP Function Return Values.

Site Restructure
In Wordpress, you have Posts and Pages. Posts are used for blogging and Pages are used for static content, like an About or Contact page. I’ve been using the Pages to post my tutorials, but I thought about it and decided I’ll switch to using the Posts for them.

This will allow new tutorials to show up in the blog feed instead of requiring me to make a special post about the new pages on the site. I don’t know why I didn’t think about this to begin with, but it should be better for all you readers out there!
