WordPress 2.5 is officially out

John Ford Mar 29, 2008

WordPress 2.5

It’s official. WordPress 2.5 is now out with a crisp new admin interface and great new features. They’ve even redone the website. Here are some of my favorite changes:

  • A beautiful new admin interface.
  • A much more intuitive flow when making a post.
  • Multiple instant file uploads.
  • Thumbnail, medium and full-sized image options (and you can change the image dimensions in Settings).
  • A quick way to display your photos as a gallery
  • Easily add/edit tags so no more plugins are needed.
  • A visual editor that doesn’t break your code (this one is great for my clients).
  • Search now looks at posts and pages.

I’ve always thought that WordPress is one of the best blogging and content management systems. It’s incredibly intuitive for the user (even more so now) and extremely flexible for developers.

Thanks so much to everyone who has helped with WordPress!

Digg!

    You’re lucky to have a friend who stays up late to do things like that. :-)
