I’ve been using WordPress 2.7 beta for a week now and the new layout is very easy to get used to. So far so good.
I think a lot of people will revolt, cry, wail, and moan complain about the GUI changes and will probably demand their money back. But 2.7 is looking to be the best version yet.
Jan Dembowski: Definitely would. But it was for my 5 year old girl, so she didn’t mind.
raguel: hmmm..the red frame astray should look better with marker linings
HappySpaceInvader: This seems like the long way round… surely all you have to do is add the favicon.ico file...
Johnny Chin: It seems that Microsoft is now installing a lot it “extras” as system-wide additions and... Johnny Chin: Very cool indeed. Now where can we get one of these? Then it would be a problem for me … no place...
Damn … I was just getting started with v2.6.3 and they are changing it already. I’ll send you the URL once I pick out a theme that I like and have it up.
Johnny,
Well that’s how it goes with open source software
When 2.3 -> 2.5 it was an improvement but not really easier to use, just prettier and moved around.
With 2.7 the developers are trying to get it to be more functional and easier to use.
It’s hard for me to tell about ease of use since I’m an “edit all your files in VI” kind of guy.
