Official Look at Wordpress 2.5

20080318

The Wordpress Dashboard has been looking pretty stale these past weeks. Until today. Matt published the Wordpress 2.5 Sneak Peak showing off the “Bun in the Oven”. In the link above you can see my first write up on Wordpress 2.5. But the latest Wordpress Sneak Peak shows a few interesting pages and features:

Matt: A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times sound interesting to you? Continue Reading…

New: Rounded corners and more meta info display… looks cool.

New: More managing stuff… Media Library? Also looks cool.
I’m sure a lot of people are very excited to start working with the new Wordpress 2.5. and also the advance features that will really make life easier for a person blogging over a few Wordpress sites. The one-click plugin upgrade is my most anticipated feature. I’m looking forward to my 1st Download of the new Wordpress 2.5.

@StevenMcD: They are confident to say TODAY… but they want to make it as stable as they can get it and want to get feedback from the community fisrt. Here is the download for the Release Candidate, if you wanted to check it out so long. Also join the mailing list for an insiders perspective on testing. They have no set a date yet.

I’ve been running Wordpress 2.5 at home for the last few days. I haven’t delved much into the code / new tags etc. (since there is no documentation) but the new admin is awesome.

The media manager as well as the new dashboard are huge UI enhancements. Gona make blogging fun again.

Oh, one last thing.. expect someone claiming to be the first SA blogger running 2.5… SOON!

Version 4

An emotional moment comes as I finally polish up this LONG overdue theme for my site. Many things can attribute to this theme taking well over 6 month to complete. Among those are the love/hate relationship I have with design, the lack of focus and the need to get everything perfect. My site is not perfect. [...] read more

District 9 out of 9

This past week I went to go see District 9 again. The make of any good movie is one that you can watch twice in quick succession only to appreciate it even more. The subtle South African flavor coupled with a unique story, told in an uncanny documentary style fashion made for an enjoyable second [...] read more

Firefox 3.5 fixed my Gmail!

WordPress setting sail…

I’m glad to see that from all the Google Summer of Code applicants, WordPress got eight students to work alongside them on what it to be the next generation of WordPress improvements. I’m most interested in the theme builders and advance media handeling. Will just have to wait and see till the features gets realeased. More [...] read more

Qwitter, it hurts…

Lately I’ve been getting lots of twitter followers. I think it’s mostly because of my recent move to WooThemes and thus I’ve refrained from over posting to twitter. I really don’t want to seem like a loony toon who tells people what he had for breakfast, and only try sharing stuff that are genuinely cool [...] read more

Ubuntu for the very 1st time

I've recently run into some crippling Windows problems. And it was, worst of all, effecting my Internet access when I need it so desperately, like so many fellow South Africans. Moving to mac has crossed my mind, but I opted to go to a free place. A place where operations and function, roam freely. Linux. read more

I currently have 110 unmoderated comments. Yes, I have a filter enabled and yes, I might have a few spam comments. Majority comes from my themes I realeased. They, luckely, will all be moving to ThemeSmith. More streamlining to do on my behalf. I apologize if you we’re caught up in that. read more

Turning inwards and creating wealth

What I have now works for me here on Foxinni.com. But it has to evolve into what I have become over the past two years. Now that I have the skills to do what I want… I’m intending on doing exactly that. No More! No more over zealous blogging causing a once a zillion years blog post, [...] read more
