WordPress 2.7, codenamed; Coltrane, is finally a worthy upgrade compared to WordPress 2.6. It feels like how Adobe recently rewrote Adobe Flash to include Inverse Kinematics (IK). The entire user experience has been improved thanks to its new information architecture and accepted comments (and suggestions) to further improve WordPress by the community.
I’ve installed WordPress 2.7 (Coltrane) on a prototype blog I’m still working on. Right after the upgrade, the aura omitting from the new user interface is simple and easy. It sounds contradictory but sometimes simple layouts aren’t made easy when it’s content isn’t defined clear enough. But not with WordPress 2.7. And, I’ve 40 screenshots to prove why I’d choose to use Coltrane.
If the 40 screenshots aren’t loading quick enough for you, here’s the direct download of all 40 WordPress 2.7 screenshots shown above: [download#7]
Have you upgraded to WordPress 2.7 yet?
I upgraded all my blogs to WordPress 2.7 already, no regrets at all but now after 2 weeks or so, I still have some difficulty getting used the the admin interface. Hope in 2.8 there wouldn’t be a major interface change.
Actually, I really like the new interface. Everything is so easy to be determined where it should be now. :D
hmm I am always a blogspot fan ;)
I’ve upgrade my wordpress blog..
Yes.. I agree it’s cool

LOL! I can never think of customizing it.

I love the performance it can run on now. :)
After upgrading few of my blogs to wordpress 2.7, I found that some of the features which worked perfectly well in 2.6 stopped working as desired. One such feature was the permalink feature. The new version does not support some custom permalink structures.
