I managed to upgrade my blog to WordPress 2.3 without much complication. I even dared to perform the upgrade before doing a backup of the database, which is strictly not recommended to do so. There was a slight compatibility issue with the plug-in I installed since the previous version. Other than that, everything went smoothly.
The built-in tagging feature is pretty useful, but there is no tags management feature. Luckily, I found the Tag Managing Thing plug-in that allows me to edit and delete the tags.

WordPress 2 still doesn’t have the feature to support HTTPS access to the admin area when the rest of the blog is accessed in HTTP. I don’t feel comfortable to access the admin area in unencrypted connections. I believed many people using WordPress also had the same thought with me.
Fortunately, there was a smart guy out there managed to create a WordPress plugin that secured the access to the admin area. The plugin is called Admin-SSL. The plugin supports both shared and private SSL certificates.

I added a web page translator plug-in to this site. It has the ability to translate your web page to thirteen different languages. Pretty cool, huh!
It is called Global Translator by N2H.
You have the option to use either the Babel Fish or the Google Translation Engine. It comes with a built-in cache system in order to reduce the connection to the translation engine every time a page is loaded.
The permalinks in the translated web pages are search engine optimized by adding the language code to the beginning of all your URI.
