Wordpress 2.5 and Color TV!
That title was my attempt at humor, but seriously- it took Hostgator a long time to get with the program and make Wordpress 2.5 available for Fantastico.
I must say, though -- it was worth the wait. There are a few new features I really like, but since I'm so behind the times, I won't bother mentioning them.
Instead, I'll give you an update on my life at current-
First, if you'd like to know what's been keeping me so busy, I've been working on a couple of Facebook applications. One of them is out (the first version anyway) and it's called Blobs (click to add this application).
This app is far less complex than the other but still makes me happy. The gist is that you get to upgrade your blob to battle other blobs in hopes that you can be the best amongst your friends. The affiliate marketing angle (duh, of course) is generally the same as other games. To get gold, you fill out offers. Easy enough.
Second, I started exercising more. I've been riding a bike to work and I'm pretty happy about that. The only down-side is that I'm riding a cruiser bike for now, until I do some research and find a decent road bike. The upside to riding a cruiser like any other bike is that I depend solely on my leg muscles and they burn more often. Needless to say, I highly recommend riding a bike instead of driving a car (if you're able); it saves money and keeps you fitter.
Anyway, so I'm devoting more time to those things. Meanwhile, I have my campaigns on a sort of auto-pilot for now. I use the term auto-pilot loosely, as I check them daily and make small adjustments here and there. But for the most part, they're running strong by themselves.
I'll be writing more posts soon, so stay tuned.

Awesome facebook app! I love the blobs thing, and it’s one of the few apps seamlessly integrated without all the BS.
Good luck with the exercise. (I mean that in a non-sarcastic serious way) Sometimes ya gotta get away from the computer and get out and do stuff… I’m realizing that more and more every day.

Nice site here. I was wondering what methods you use for affiliate marketing. Do you use mostly facebook, ebay, or create landing pages and drive traffic with adsense? I have mostly been using facebook recently. You can make small to meduim profits, but wondering the best way to kick it up a notch.

Scott - get the wordpress automatic upgrade plugin and unchain yourself from fantastico. I used the semi-automatic approach w/ that plugin, started trusting it to do fully automatic and haven’t had a problem over several different hosts.
