I’ve upgraded this blog to the new WordPress 2.5. So far I like it. I read up a bit on the changes, what I can and can not do now and decided to give it a try here. This is the first time I’ve upgraded to the new version this early on. I usually wait for a few weeks, but I really wanted to give this new version a try sooner than later.

I don’t have WordPress 2.5 on my server yet so I did an FTP upgrade and had no problems at all. It was quick and easy. So far so good.

I had three plugins that needed upgrading and I have never upgraded my plugins so quickly or easily. No FTP program required. The built in FTP plugin upgrade is incredible! I think that alone may be worth the new version. Well, I’m sure there are other things I will find I like as well, but that was just plain easy - and I have not problems with FTP programs. But the streamlining of it just makes it that much easier to concentrate on the blogging itself. As much as I like all the back end stuff I really liked that it was even faster for me to upgrade.

It will take me a few more uses to get the new layout under my fingers although the streamlined vision of this new WordPress is overall good.
