WordPress 2.1 Ella Released
January 23rd, 2007 Filed in: WordPress, News & Updates Jump to commentsAs a big fan of WordPress, I’m very excited to hear the new release of WordPress 2.1 Ella. Although I haven’t upgraded yet, but it seems like they’ve added a lot of new features and fixed a lot of bugs. One of my favorite new features is now you can set the Pages to be drafts, or private. The new Page option is extremely useful for people who use WordPress as a CMS tool because it allows you to preview the page before publishing it. Now you can backup a Page by turning it to private rather deleting it. Another great feature is now you can set any Page to be your front page, and put the latest posts somewhere else. Version 2.1 also incorporated more AJAX which makes your site maintenance more faster and fascinating. I will definitely upgrade to 2.1 and post more thoughts soon. Download the latest version of WordPress at http://wordpress.org/download. If you have upgraded already, please share your thoughts here.

I upgraded a few days ago and love it! for some reason the older version were so slow to save pages as the Database got bigger and with there housecleaning on the MYSQL and as well as some streamlining everything moves along at a blazing speed.
Although i did have to update a few plug-ins nothing serious though.

I will also be testing that out soon. WP 2.1 is being more than a blog CMS.

Initially, I was pretty upset with the upgrade because quite a few of my plugins broke my blog. However, after I figured out how to edit them to my liking, it got better.
Now, I love it. It’s much faster and more efficient.

I’ve recently upgraded to WP 2.1 and I’m loving every second of it. The new pages function really is a plus, because well, it saves the hassle of deleting them just because you don’t want them right? Only bugger is that some template tags are already deprecated so much themes out there have to update accordingly. Plugins may also not be suitable (I had to disable a few to get my site working).

Wordpress 2.1 works like a charm with GlossyBlue Advanced.

I’ve upgraded my copy and it doesn’t seem to work to shabby in Safari for Mac OS X. My “Tiger admin theme” is not so compatable and the new picture upload panel doesn’t reveal all the proper buttons. Other than that love it.
