[...] WordPress 2.7 arrived on the scene only a few days ago and I’ve been feeling a subtle pressure within to upgrade. For many years now I have followed a rigorous routine of maintaining all my software at the latest versions. Although the advantages of this approach are numerous there’s also the time and energy that go into making this happen that needs to be considered. [...]

Nice design – did find switching between the dashboard modules a bit sluggish (more pull from the server for data) – seems the dashboard is a bit more bloated with the stylish finish to it. But over all – nice job. Looking forward to using the built-in upgrade feature. If you could explain more in detail how this function will operate, that would be appreciated.

Never mind. I have to take back my previous comment and apologize. My WP 2.7 admin panel navigation issues were related to an incompatible plugin. I deactivated the plugin, then I saw that 2.7 admin panel as it was designed to appear. At that point, it was quickly apparent that is actually easier to navigate in the admin section 2.7 than in previous versions. You’ve definitely devoted countless hours to upgrading the version, taking a big risk, but I can now see that it is an improvement. I have to say, kudos to all of you.

One suggestion: You’re probably doing this already, but I’d suggest that wp developers visit those hacker forums (eg Turkish hacker forums) and see what they’re up to when it comes to devising new ways to hack wordpress sites and deface them. Many of mine were hacked until I made a number of modifications in the installations. That is, wp sites were not secure enough to stop hackers, unless some radical alterations were made.

Awesome work. All that usability testing has paid off big time. Yet another reason that WP is the best blogging platform out there.

Can’t believe it’s free…
