WordPress 2

2006-01-07 Internet · Software

Yes, its finally here, WordPress 2. I am currently using WordPress 1.5 on this blog and 2 other sites I have developed so I am not going to upgrade for a while on those 2 sites because they are working very well, but I might test with this blog – well perhaps after just doing some upgrades that I have been planning for a while.

Here are some of the new features:

Completely Redesigned Backend
Faster Administration – AJAX based
WYSIWYG Editing
Included Spam and Backup Plugins
Resizable Editing
Inline Uploading
Faster Posting
Post Preview
Streamlined Importing
User Roles

There are also some upgrades for the developers which should prove interesting, but for me the most interesting feature is the Inline uploading of images, music and video – fantastic news, particularly as I want to upload more video to this blog. I am wondering about how I can split up this blog more though, because by posting about so many diverse topics I am breaking one of the goldern rules of blogging – have seperate blogs for different topics.
