WordPress 2.7 Beta – An Introduction (screencast)

Posted in these categories: Old Posts

A lot of people have been asking me to explain some of the new features in WordPress 2.7 – the main ones are the admin Interface and some of the new, movable widget-like items in the post menu and on the dashboard.  But, it’s hard to talk about visual changes when, to be honest, you can’t see them.  Enjoy this >5 minute screencast on some of the new features included in WordPress 2.7.

  • Very informative screencast! Updating can be scary, but I think it may be worthwhile to upgrade some of our less maintained blogs to 2.7.

    Oh, I just installed my first Word Press 2.0 blog. I absolutely love it. It's got way more features than the previous version and the interface is a lot cleaner, too.
    I recommend it to anyone!

    Hello, I have been searching for information about marketing. I feel this information will help me a great deal. I will be following you for now on. I hope to learn more. Thank you and keep up the good work.
  • i think i will wait a little bit longer until all the bugs are found!
  • Great screen cast. I am considering moving my blog http://hostedvoipinfo.net to WP 2.7. As with any upgrade I am very nervous about doing that.

    Have you had any problems with 2.7 yet?
  • Thanks for sharing. I haven't had a chance to work with WordPress 2.7 yet, as I'm still catching up with 2.6. I'm curious to see how compatible plugins will be for 2.7. 2.6 wiped out the Mighty Seek Podcast Plugin, and from what I've heard, it's just now launching a 2.6 compatible plugin in the next week. I feel that's the only drawback to updating a blog too soon, the plugins usually need time to catch up. And it seems the community is just catching up when they launch yet another version of WordPress...it looks nice though.
  • That was really cool, Mitch! I wish I could move over to my own site at some point.
