Weighing in on WordPress 2.7

December 18th, 2008

Well I ran into a few minor glitches when I upgraded, but once they were ironed out, I had one word to say about WordPress 2.7:
wow!

The Dashboard looks really slick, but those of you who are newbies or not so tech-savvy might find it a little confusing at first. That’s because the layout has completely changed from all other versions of WordPress.

But don’t worry, this latest version of WordPress is actually designed to make your life easier. Once you master how to use WordPress 2.7, you won’t be needing anyone to help you with future upgrades, for example.

Yes, that’s right. No more waiting for Cpanel to catch up to WordPress upgrades, or no more FTP-ing of the core files needed to upgrade. You just click a couple of buttons from within your WordPress 2.7 Dashboard, and you’re done. (Tools>>Upgrade)

If you are new to WordPress, or you are an existing WordPress user who is not so tech-savvy, and you need some hand-holding, tomorrow I’m going to share with you how I can help you become 100% comfortable using WordPress.

Once you have learned how to use this amazing tool to your advantage, you might become as passionate about WordPress as I am. And you might even start earning a real living from your blog, like many people already are.

Stay tuned.
