WordPress seems to be going in the wrong direction if you ask me, how long before this becomes a corporate product? From the looks of that new admin interface they are adding what seems to be branding, and product copyrights as though you were using a product, rather than a community based project were you have control of the code.

Also that interface is quite confusing! I think they need to add better support for controlling WordPress as a CMS rather than messing with what currently works fine. x

Excluding the new interface, what else is really new? Couldn’t get it.

@Jeffro2pto: Yeah that was pretty lame. It looks like Chris has now disabled that option.

Man, these jerks that are redirecting the demo site to their own are wreaking havoc. Hope that this can be taking cared of by hardcoding the site url into wp.config.

@Jeffro2pto: I see what you mean. It is sorta annoying, but we’ll see!

@Chris: Thanks stopping by, as well as fixing the test site.

@Joshua: Haha I’m glad you’re as excited as we are. WordPress 2.4 was actually skipped due to so many updates and not enough time to finish it all before the release date.

Thanks Chris, for fixing the site. The new admin looks great. A lot more user friendly.

Woohoo, the new administration interface looks exciting.

However, what’s happened to WordPress 2.4? Are they missing that number out?

I too like the refreshed feel and look of the admin panel. However, the light shades on everything seem to play with my eyes and once I get a hold of 2.5 final, I think I am going to play around with the colors and make everything darker.

@Ricky: Haha yeah I’m glad to see “Blogroll” is gone too!

@Anand: Hmm it seems that link is redirecting to another site. I’m not sure what’s up with it. It was working fine yesterday!
