Those of you who follow my blog know that I am not a huge fan of the admin interface changes in WordPress 2.5. In WordPress 2.5: Perhaps I was wrong I even got a little abusive. So today, when I learned that it was out, I upgraded a couple of my blogs […]

The front end
The front end hasn’t changed much. The default theme is prettier, and this is not a bad thing.
