Wordpress 2.5 - and All the hype!
This is all grand and wonderful, but there are some setbacks.
Don’t get me wrong the new design is somewhat sleek - however, I had grown accustomed to the advanced admin menu plugin which essentially turns the menu into dropdown menu’s. Sometimes wordpress is really slow and this makes pretty much all navigation one-click.
I think, with all the new javascript based technologies out there today, such as ajax, jquery, etc - it wouldn’t be too much of an issue for them to include a drop down-like menu standard in Wordpress.
Another plugin that lacks functionality in Wordpress 2.5 is the Gregarious plugin, which I was using for social bookmarking / diggs etc.
I’m also not sure I like the way they redid the side-bar in the new post area.
But it does look a lot better in other ways, and I can see it being a lot easier to navigate for newbies. My beef is probably just the fact that I’m so used to the older styles look, that the new change will take some time to get used to.
Have you tried the new Wordpress? Let me know your thoughts.
