Wordpress 2.5

April 23rd, 2008

Though I updated my wordpress installation to version 2.5 almost a month ago, this is my first post after the upgrade. My college project has been keeping me busy, but its over now. My final demo was on the 19th of this month. So I have to update my blog with the past month’s events.

Version 2.5 of WordPress has got several changes to the appearance of the admin pages. The admin pages look much cleaner, better colours and easier to navigate. The post-editor is also improved, with buttons to add images, videos or audio with a single click. And Plugins can be upgraded automatically, which makes life much easier for people like me who work using dialup connections slower than 56k.

This is a welcome change for everyone who decided to quit wordpress.com because of its hard-to-use interface. I’m sure this would take the popularity of wordpress to much greater heights.
