<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
</ul>

Upgraded to WordPress 2.1 Ella

Finally got around to upgrading this blog to WordPress 2.1 Ella. It was a pain free upgrade.

Ella has a couple of really cool features like Autosaving a post, a better Upload manager and a new version of the Akismet plugin. You can also set any “page” to be the front page of your site, and put the latest posts somewhere else, making it much easier to use WordPress as a content management system.
