Wordpress Gets Even Better - Version 2.5 is out

WP 2.5 with its pleasant looking interface or dashboard as you know it.

Wordpress 2.5 is out and once again, WP proves to be a blogware that has not only become an excellent content management system but also one that old-timers in the same field will have to contend with - namely Joomla and Drupal.

Why?

Well, for one, customisation gets easier. And if you are running a online news site, you might want to reconsider WP with all its bells and whistles. Customisable category modules well placed with the CSS run layout will allow you any kind of imaginable design or theme you can think off. What more, there is an army of WP theme designers out there who are at your service, to suit every pocket and financial means.

WP 2.5 which was released about 12 days ago is now upgradable via Fantastico in the C-Panel package for Linux host users. Just go into C-Panel, Fantastico, and click upgrade and you will be presented with a cleaner interface of 2.5. Brilliantly designed.

The major change I see for 2.5 is the use of PHP version 4.3, or later. This interface is less cluttered with well places tabs for different sections. And oh, I simply love the baby blue colour of the dashboard!

I upgraded mine recently and everything gelled seamlessly. This time I decided to use Fantastico instead of the WP's famous 5-step Upgrade via SFTP. For WP dummies, use Fantastico if yours is Linux hosted. Believe me, there are fewer worries and lesser work!
