Woo, running the first release candidate of WP 2.7. Everything is all different looking in the back end, but waaaaay more intuitive. I guess all those usability studies were worth it. I am typing this from the QuickPress, but it would have been nice if it at least had the quicktag buttons here.
The left sidebar with expanding menus is much better for navigation. The back end seems a little sluggish right now, but maybe that will be cleaned up. I was excited to try installing a plugin from within the admin area, but unfortunately the search function in the WP plugin database sucks, and even searching for the author’s name returned no results.
I’m not sure that this release is fully baked just yet, so I’m going to hold off on installing it on the anime blog. I have enabled threaded and paged comments, but I don’t think my current theme can take advantage of the new options. It looks like it may take some work to enable threaded comments in the theme, so that’s something I’ll have to add to the child theme on SSAB.
