Merging of Links and Categories […] While those philosophies can be discussed in other posts, the important
thing to recognize is that the Categories table is now prepopulated
with a Blogroll category and all links are assigned, by default, to the
blogroll category.

That’s actually something I’d like to have.  Trying to make two sets of categories is a pain.  Much nicer to link to Wordpress.org in the blogging category, etc.

So I just need to figure out how to back up my blog, then make WordPress work on a different port.  Yeah, easy-peasy.  But I will get to it so I can see what the other features are like.
