Upgraded to WordPress 2.5

Hey guys, just made the big switch from WordPress 2.3.3 to WordPress 2.5.

It was painless with the help of WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin. The upgrade clocked to 52 seconds; fast and furious rather than upgrading manually thru FTP.

All my plugins worked after the plugin. I tried to explore the brand new interface; it’s a lot more brighter and better. The dashboard gives you the sufficient data you need. I’ve read that you can embed some plugin pages to your dashboard; such as the WordPress Stats plugin.

The Write Page and Write Post pages are still powered with TinyMCE, but now with a cleaner theme. I’ve noticed that it loaded faster than the old one using our slow dialup connection.

The Plugins page, also offers an automatic upgrade link for outdated plugins. It seems that they want to have a WordPress that’s a lot easier and user friendly!

On the Comments page, there you can see the Gravatar of the person who commented. Weeee, so slick! Unfortunately, most of my commentators don’t have a Gravatar yet. If you still don’t have one, you may get one at Gravatar.com.

Good job WordPress coders, developers, designers and supporters! I’m liking it! :D

    I haven’t heard of the automatic upgrade plugin so I had to upgrade my WP manually. Hmf.
