Have just upgraded to the latest and greatest Wordpress and was shocked as it has wowed me again in terms of user interface. The pace of improvement of this Open Source product is incredible. Just as I think wouldn’t it be good if… they’ve done it in the next release (and improved stability / fixed bugs).
They’ve introduced a turbo button which makes use of Google Gears (the offline/browser enchancement) and added more time saving shortcuts and a better post writing interface (particularly for re-using existing tags on new posts - this UI for tagging taxonomy might have to be borrowed on some of my projects…) Read their blog post here for more info on features (includes a video).
Below is the new dashboard - compare the below to Wordpress 2.5 that I upgraded to back in May 08
The new dashboard is below - it now has dragable “modules”
Trouble is it now makes me want to upgrade the design of my blog - but I know I have way more important things to do with my time before I faff with that again!
