Added March 12, 2026: 20 years later and I still have a site at https://librarymonk.wordpress.com. I still use it as one example/option of how to get a free WordPress site.

Library Monk News
Upgraded to WordPress 2.0
Well, I upgraded to WordPress 2.0. Other than some admin bells and whistles (the new visual rich editor can be helpful and annoying at the same time, thankfully you can turn it off) there is no major reason to upgrade.…
Blog upgrades
Well a new version of WordPress is out, version 1.5. I’ve upgraded this blog as well as Stephanie’s and all seems well, Things seem to run a bit faster and there are lots of new features. I’m not sure why I ever used Movable Type.…
