Rajat Arya

Quick site update tonight:

• moved to WordPress 3.0.1
• removed unused plugins
• removed unused themes
• updated remaining plugins to recent version
• removed old pictures page
• updated about page

And after over a year, synced up the developer version of rajatarya.com with the production version.  Much more painful than I expected and definitely a good reminder to follow the ‘right’ process – work on the developer site and then publish to the production site.

Please let me know if you see anything that doesn’t appear to work (raj...@rajatarya.com).

I am planning a site overhaul and some new blog posts, so more to come in the next few weeks!
