Wordpress 2.7 Is Unveiled In All It’s Glory

I had read a few worrying reports about upgrading to wordpress 2.7 so was a little skeptical about how it would go, but I have to tell you I have now upgraded 20 or so blogs and not had one single issue. I upgraded in the normal way, deleted the files as per the wordpress.org site, uploaded all the new files and clicked to upgrade the database. All my plugins are working and all my themes look beautiful.

Bye bye old dashboard. I included a photo just for old times sake A wealth of knowledge has been shared about the beauty and speed of the NEW admin panel, but nothing prepares you for what is nothing short of a piece of art. There is at least one redundant plugin that I know of, which is the one that made the admin menu’s have a dropdown style. No longer needed I’m afraid. Bad news for them, but god for us bloggers, the less plugins the better.

I have included some links below that I think you will find interesting, in the mentime I am designing some new themes, long overdue, and will of course ensure they are wordpress 2.7 compatible.

Speaking of themes, I wrote a while ago about wordpress 2.7 having a new theme included, but it is not in my download. I like the theme a lot, so go take a look, if you like it you can download it and use it yourself. I must have been confused about it, I was sure that was what it meant, but maybe it has been included over at wordpress.com.

Have you upgraded yet? How did it go? Let me know by posting a comment.
