Wordpress 2.5 is Ready for Download

By Staale on March 30th, 2008

Today Wordpress realeased the newest version of this great software that almost all bloggers use, Wordpress. The version is called 2.5 and there are a lot of new things updated. A new interface is the most seeable thing, but people that post pictures on their blog does also have something to be looking forward to.

As you can see on the image above, the dashboard has got an facelift. Looks good:)

Breakdown of new things:

Dashboard Widgets
Multi-file upload with progress bar
Few-click plugin upgrades
Built-in galleries
Friendlier visual post editor

I think I will be waiting a week or two before updating, since there almost certain will come an update that sorts out some minor bugs that people report.

Ohh, i mentioned that bloggers that post pictures had something to be looking forward to, see this video where Matt is explaining a new feuture.

Download Wordpress 2.5 now!

I will wait to upgrade as well. It is not due to waiting for them to get the bugs out…it’s because I am too lazy to do it myself. I usually wait until it’s available to upgrade through Fantastico on my control panel.

I upgraded yesterday, no problems in the update, and everything seems to work perfectly:D

Im not sure if I like the new look, but, its probably just something to get used to;)

my first impression on the admin panel wasn’t so good, as also with the new widget panel, although i recognize it can be useful the way it is…
