Go get it installed now!
It’s another major upgrade since the 2.5 paradigm. I was a bit culture-shocked using this new version. It’s really neat and awesome. I didn’t expect it to be released this early.
Though it has many minor problems, I believe it’ll get more stable in a very short time. You guys can just wait for the 2.7.1 version that I reckon will be out very soon.
Main Menu
The biggest change is the main menu. It has been undergoing a very well re-structuring process, until it looks very easy and reliable compared to previous version.
The main menu is not placed at the top anymore, but has been moved to the left sidebar on your admin panel. Users with lower resolution screens may shrink the main menu if they wish to.
The difference between default and shrinked one is, on the default style you’ll need to click on the main menu to see the sub-menu. On the shrinked one, you’ll just need to pause your mouse on it to get the sub-menu pops out. Both are great.
Plugin Features
The second big thing is the plugin feature. You can view upgradeable plugins on the WP plugin page from your own panel, and then install it automatically as usual.
You’ll also have the ability to add new plugin from there. It has a categorized listings to its plugin directory, including featured, popular, newest, and recently updated.
You may also search it right there using term, author and tag keywords. Or the last choice, install it from a zip file on your computer. Great, huh?
Express Buttons
The third thing I realize is some express buttons on the top right side of the admin panel. It has a “New Post” button with some other express links below.
On the new post page, you’ll see “Screen Options” and “Help” buttons available. I think it’s really great and helpful.
After all, I think it’s just very impressive, and I also think that, you guys just have to stop reading. It’s time to get moving — Try it now!
