The biggest ‘con’ in the new 2.1 verion is the fact that if you want to make a new category for links, you have to go to Manage >> Category instead of Links >> Add Link.

All the rest looks even better with drafts for pages, exporting your blog, etc…

[...] BloggingPro reports on their WordPress 2.1 Alpha First Experiences that the new Administration Panels interface is a bit more jazzed up and easier to use and read, as we’ve seen on WordPress.com blogs for a while. [...]

On my high res monitor, your fonts are too small, I have to crank up the magnification on Maxthon. So this is good news

[...] So here’s the breakdown. Under WP 2.1 alpha 3, the ‘Manage’ tab has: Posts, Pages, Uploads, Categories, Files, Import and Export. In the Admin panel, the ‘Link’ tab has been replaced by ‘Blogroll’ which seems really sparse as all it has are your links and the ability to add a link. I think that if they had to make a ‘Blogroll’ tab, it would have been smarter to keep the ability to manage the Link Categories from that tab also. Anyway, the ‘Blogroll’ tab has: Manage Blogroll, Add Link and Import Links. The presentation tab has a new addition that may or may not be theme-independent. It has the ability to edit the header’s image and color. In trying to test this feature out, I clicked the advanced tab and it added a little box that was out of my screen. I’m using a 1280 by 768 resolution screen (an HP Pavilion f1703) so maybe that is an example of CSS gone crazy. They took the ‘Comments’ tab out from under the ‘Manage’ tab and it has its own headline in the admin panel, Comments. This would be fine for blogs with lots of comments because you have 1 less click to make (it used to be “Manage” and then “Comments”). Before I close, I love that they have improved the ‘post management’ area. Before, my WP 2.0.5 install, I made use of an Enhanced Post view plugin. The WP developers must have taken a page out of that plugin developer’s books because I won’t need the Enhanced Post View plugin anymore. It’s got tools to show posts by month, category and a search function. They still don’t offer the ability to regulate how many posts are shown on the screen at once. That should be easy, no? I would rather show 100 posts at once than click through 25 posts, 4 times. Check out some reviews of what’s new/hot or not in WP 2.1 alpha over at Blogging Pro, a list of plugins compatible with WP 2.1 alpha 3, and ‘official’ about what will be in Wordpress version 2.1.

Sorry, I am not sure how far 2.1 is from final release, but if you don’t depend on tons of plugins, give it a try. Seems stable enough for me. The site I have hosted on the 2.1 alpha went through a digging just fine.

David: Any idea how close that version of WordPress is to release? I’ve been doing the rounds upgrading to 2.0.5 this week, but I might hold off for something more bleeding edge….

The WP Admin fonts were always big.

Remember that matt likes horrible site designs like this one: http://www.big.com/
