Wordpress 2.5
Wordpress version 2.5 was released last week. This is a major jump from previous versions in terms of bugfixes and improvements. The main feature is that the interface looks a lot different. The general concensus is that it is easier to use with which I would agree. It has added some new features such as radio buttons for adding media like video, pictures and audio to your posts. Also, tags have been added just underneath your writing area of a new post. One thing I preferred from the older version was the categories section being on the right as it was more readily accessible.
There are now separate buttons for settings, plugins and users which appear on each page in the top right which makes them easier to reach.
The upgrade process was quite easy as usual and went off with no hitches. If you are a Wordpress user and haven’t upgraded yet, then this might be the one to try. Obviously you want to back up all of your files first as per usual, but once you upgrade, you probably won’t want to go back.
Great work by the Wordpress team in making it the defacto blogging software in my opinion.
