> Yay! Wordpress 2.5. Almost Perfect

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

Now I don’t have to tell you guys about all the goodies that Wordpress 2.5 brings, but I’ll name a few anyways:

  • New fresh Admin theme
  • Nice Dashboard
  • You can modify the link for “Incoming Links”. Technorati anyone?
  • Finally included Tag Management
  • Concurrent Post Editing Protection
  • One Click Plugin upgrades. Oh yes. It’s about time.
  • Built in Gallery
  • Nice Flash Media Uploader

There’s just ONE thing that rubs me the wrong way.

They’ve gone an given the admin theme a fixed width layout, designed for a 1024px monitor. Why, Wordpress, why? This is really a pain, after I decided to get (not one, but) two 19″ Wide Screen LCD monitors. Luckily, there’s a plugin that puts things back into perspective.

  2. It’s not bad. I HATED it at first. Seemed like they used about ten times as much AJAX as was necessary, and I’m all about clean simple unbloated code…

    Once I got used to it, I’m okay with it. I do prefer the old interface still, with a plugin that I installed to make navigation a bit more friendly, but the new interface is 100% usable. I’m sure they’ll tweak it a bit over the next couple of bugfix releases.
