Onto WordPress 2.5
Upgrading WordPress has been one of my greatest fears since my first upgrade back in October of 2007 – after all, I nearly lost my blog in, what I’ve dubbed, my near WordPress disaster. For that upgrade, the wonderful Automatic Upgrade Plugin wasn’t working for some reason, so I had to do it manually – nearly resulting in disaster.
However, this time around, the Automatic Upgrade Plugin worked and upgrading was a breeze.
Thoughts on WordPress 2.5
Though I have only been using WordPress 2.5 for a few minutes, I must say it’s beautiful. The interface is wonderful – user friendly and very versatile.
The Dashboard’s Re-Design
While the blue is a little too ‘baby blue’ for me…
They layout is extremely well designed and easier to navigate.
There are also many new subtle (and very nice) features – but if you’re curious to what they are… fire up the Automatic Upgrade Plugin and give it a whirl.
My One Problem
I do have one problem with WordPress 2.5 – though the blame isn’t entirely at the geniuses over at Automattic…
The Popularity Contest plugin does not work. I’m hoping that Alex King (the author of the plugin) fixes it soon – because I would have no clue where to begin.
In the mean time, I look forward to exploring the many new features of WordPress 2.5 and can’t wait to launch my new look – because this one is really starting to bother me…
Is it alright if I contact you sometime about setting up a website? I have my wordpress and url but the other stuff is too much for me to grasp.
