Owls Count

The new version of WordPress, the software used for this blog, was released yesterday. I took the plunge and updated straight away. Everything seems to be up and fine, but if any of you notice a problem then let me know.

However, on upgrade I noticed a jump in database queries on page load - nearly double the previous level. I have made a few changes to the internals of my custom theme and this has improved the situation, but I think there are some more improvements possible. These changes should not be noticeable to anyone visiting this site.
