Wordpress upgrade is good news
We have upgraded the Pontydysgu web site to Wordpress 2.5.1. I have had only a limited time to look at it but it seems both a big and welcome upgrade. Particularly nice is the new dashboard - for non Wordpress users, this is the back end where you do things. In the past the default view provided far too many options, many of which most users would seldom acccess. Now many of these features have been hidden, meaning you do not see them unless you need them.
This is important for me. I know my way round the old Dashboard. But we are using Wordpress MU for our Freefolio e-portfolio application. Not only do I worry at the barrier the dashboard design offers to new users, but in focusing on navigating the Dashboard users may be distracted from the primary use of the sofware - to develop their portfolios. It would appear that an update to Wordpress MU to incorporate the new features of the Wordpress single user version is planned int he near future. This is good news for us.
