WordPress 2.6 is here

…and so I upgraded:-)

One of the cool features added is the theme preview. You may now preview your blog in any of the themes uploaded into your theme folder without having to activate it beforehand.

Another one is the plugin notification bubble, which shows up beside the Plugins link in the WP admin panel, when there is a new version for a certain plugin available. This feature, however, assumes you downloaded a plugin from the WP plugin directory.

Have fun:-)

Successfully upgraded to WP 2.5

It all worked without any problems. Tonight I upgraded my WordPress installation to version 2.5, the release that finally came out yesterday. Thanky to the new gallery feature, I will be able to add  photos to my posts more easily. Luckily, I will be able to use all my plugins just like before, they all work fine. This is definitely the coolest Wordpress release ever and the next day I will be checking out some of the new coding features, such as the in-build gravatar function and the possibility to create a custom admin design and, of course, the new shortcode API…lots of cool stuff to test How were your first 2.5 moments?
