Finally, WordPress 2.5!

Monday, March 31, 2008

Yes, the long wait is FINALLY over for WordPress 2.5 as it was released this weekend. I was out the whole day Saturday and found out it was already released later that night. I was too tired to do the upgrade but I downloaded it anyways hoping I could do it the next day. However, as some of you already know I spend Sunday for family time and was out again the whole day so I had no time to do the upgrade. I was finally able to do the upgrade this morning and I didn't have any issues or problems as the upgrade process went smoothly. I'm glad I made sure that my blog was ready for WordPress 2.5.Although I've already installed and tried WordPress 2.5 Release Candidate 2 in my sandbox last week, I'm still getting used to the way the content/options are displayed on this new version of WordPress. Fortunately for me, the upgrade went smoothly and I'm glad I didn't encounter any issues or setbacks during the upgrade process. All of the plugins I previously used had were working and had no conflicts except for the Popularity plugin by Alex King which required a minor fix.Apparently, the WordPress dashboard is not the only one that got a facelift but the whole WordPress site itself which uses the same design/color scheme like WordPress 2.5.The new design/layout is cool and looks much better and if you ask me, the timing couldn't have been any better. Besides, a WorPress.org theme redesign or reboot was long overdue IMO.
