Wordpress 2.7 looks gorgeous
Jane Wells posted some preview pics of the upcoming Wordpress 2.7 a few days ago. The first screenshot shows you the new posting interface. As you can see, all the options which currently appear below your editor can now be found on the left hand side (except privacy options). A great improvement in my opinion.
The screenshot below shows the new dashboard. Some things have been removed whilst some new features have been added, including a handy quick post area.
I wasn’t really paying much attention to all the news about WP 2.7 but after seeing these shots I must admit I’m really looking forward to the release.

[...] Wordpress 2.7 is just around the corner but in the mean time, Automatic have released Wordpress 2.6.3. This version is just a security fix so you won’t see any major changes on your blog or in the admin area. A vulnerability in the Snoopy library was announced today. WordPress uses Snoopy to fetch the feeds shown in the Dashboard. Although this seems to be a low risk vulnerability for WordPress users, we wanted to get an update out immediately. 2.6.3 is available for download right now. If you don’t want to download the whole release to get the security fix, you can download the following two files and copy them over your 2.6.2 installation. [...]

Dangggg!
That new dashboard looks sexy
Sexy? Try overbloated
so sexy, this is what i must get when this is launch next time
what about my plugin compatibility???
blogywalkie.com
I remember the Ad – I’m a PC / I’m a MAC
Sarit – The dashboard does have a lot of info on it but I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s overbloated.
Blogwalkie – Usually it isn’t clear what plugins will work and what won’t until it has been released. Whilst Wordpress does support the plugin community etc, they can’t program the stable release so that all plugins work.
The new interface is stunning. I am more impressed by the new plugin management feature. No more downloading of plugins separately and uploading via ftp.
1) Plugin searching from Wordpress repository
2) One click installation
Both from within the Dashboard. Cooooool
Here is a good review of WP 2.7

God I hope that stats thing isn’t on by default. I don’t want to see how many people have visited my blog. I might get depressed
It definiately looks sexy – and its nice to have all the info, but sometimes I want a slimmed down quick view too. Would be nice if they had a bare bones button to push where you could strip away everything but the post writer.
Looks sexy. But I’d say its looking the Wordpress.com dashboard which I don’t like much. I prefer the old Wordpress look.
