So since I had planned on having a release date party on November 10th for Wordpress 2.7 but couldn’t due to a delay in the official release I decided to migrate this little piece of the internet I call home to 2.7 beta 2 on November 10th. I’d been playing with the 2.7 beta on my dev server but hadn’t wanted to risk my site on unfinished code.
Let me be the first (or more likely the 166th) to say, Wordpress 2.7 is the new hotness. The new dashboard, the speed, the automatic upgrade being native (yay one less plugin) and being able to add plugins without using ftp is so amazingly handy. The idea that I can add new features to my blog from my iphone now is really useful.
I’ll get to work on a more indepth review later, for now I’m still exploring and checking all of the plugins I’ve written to make sure they don’t have issues with the 2.7 nightly builds.
If you’re interested in making the switch I’d recommend you get the db-manager plugin first to automate your db backups.
In other news, in honor of the switch to 2.7 I also managed to switch from my aging contact form plugin to cforms II which you can see in action over at my contact page.
