Wordpress 2.7 already in Wordpress.com Admin Dasboard

Posted on December 5, 2008

If you have a self-hosted wordpress blog and got tempted to upgrade into Wordpress 2.7, see the “screenshot” at your wordpress.com blog. If you don’t have wordpress.com account yet, create it here. Ryan Boren said that wordpress 2.7 is running on wordpress.com starting on 4 December 2008.

I’ve just opened my wordpress.com blog few hours ago and yes a whole new look in the admin dashboard. Unfortunately, my wish list of wp 2.7 on widgets didn’t come true. The widgets I dislike is still there. Here’s what I said in the wish list:

I wish the return of “old-days” two sidebars admin that sitting together (see pic. 1). One of the disturbing feature of wp 2.5+ and 2.6+ is you cannot see two sidebars (if you use two sidebar theme) at the same time (see pic 2). Consequently, you cannot drag one widget in Sidebar 1 into Sidebar 2 smoothly. Instead, you need to click “remove” a particular widget in Sidebar 1, and try to find the removed widget in Sidebar 2 (after clicking “show Sidebar 2?). Very unnecessarily complicated. And such a waste of time.

So, I may not upgrade this blog into wp 2.7.

as a noobz and have paranoid problem with security, having a newest engine on my blog is the logic option.

and I think this release (5 Dec) in WP dot com, still using the RC (release candidate) version. The full release will launch at 10 December

Saya harus belajar lagi nih, karena dasbornya baru. Apakah Mas Fatih akan meng-update tulisan tentang tutorial blog di WP, banyak yang tidak sesuai lagi.
Terima kasih.

#insyaallah nanti saya update kalo ada waktu.
