RSS FeedsWordPress 2.7 "Coltrane"
Dec 11, 2008
As it always happens when I am trying to update my WordPress installation I almost lost a blog while upgrading to WordPress 2.7. I’m generally one of the last people to upgrade my WordPress installations, it’s just that today when I was going through the various twitter notifications I noticed some body mentioning WordPress 2.7 so I thought, well, this time I shouldn’t get so late.
It is always advised that you take full backup of your existing blog before upgrading to a newer version; anything can go wrong and you can lose years of hard work. But I haven’t taken my backups for more than 3-4 months.
The biggest surprise in WordPress 2.7 was the total overhaul of the dashboard interface. It really looks neat with crisp buttons and a spiffy layout. Here is the image of the dashboard of Writing Cave:
WordPress 2.7
It seems there are still many people who use the default editor of WordPress to publish blog posts. I haven’t used it for years. Even when there was no desktop editor available I used to prepare all my posts in my favorite word processor and then simply copy/paste the content into the editor. If you notice in the image I have encircled the part that lets you quickly post without ever having to leave the dashboard area. They have arranged all the important links at left. Another significant change that I have noticed is that they have brought back the comments to the dashboard as people had been missing this information on the dashboard.
There is a turbo link at the top bar and I wonder what it does. When I clicked on it, it asked me to do something, I did that, it processed a few hundred files on my computer and then I lost track.
I’m still to use all the features present in the latest WordPress 2.7 version. In fact, as usual, I will end up using a very few functions because I rarely log into the admit area; I publish all my blog posts using windows live writer.
Here are some WordPress 2.7 upgrade tips from Lorelle.

I think it’s delightful, because it arrange a very academic-focussed attitude. Preserving the goodness of the academic system seems to be a greatest importance, although ingenuously banning reimbursed ads for such a service seems a weak response. When the company is known by your friends who were assuaged with the results of the combination, about this good post address that essay writing services and do not have fluctuation for the quality of the paper.

Oh, it’s really infrequent facts about this good topic! Even the freelance writing jobs should hardly make do with this.

I hate how they update so often.
They need to just slow it down and get it right.
I left Wordpress over how often they forced users to update and how often those updates broke things.
