Following Damien’s post on WordPress 2.5 I decided to upgrade from quite an old version that I had installed. I must say, I am amazed at the amount of changes that have been made. The AJAX-esque improvements are tasteful. The features that were most significant to me are as follows:
- Permalink shown immediately
- Tagging on the fly
- Improved widget control
- Improved administration interface design
- Advanced media inclusion
There’s loads more but those are just a few I noticed from briefly using it. The only thing I dislike so far is how tag selection/categories are placed underneath the input box which means you have to scroll to complete a blog post which is quite frustrating as you didn’t have to do that before.
I’m sure there are many more improvements to be made in the future, and this is the beginning of far better versions of WordPress.
