Version 2.5 of the popular open source blogging platform, Wordpress, which powers this site, has been released. In this version, the admin panel has been redesigned, allowing for easier posting and managing. On the small monitor of my laptop however, it looks scrunched.

Gone is the annoying dark blue theme, replaced by soothing light blue and black. The write section of the admin panel is far simpler and more to the point. You can maximize the writing screen to minimize distractions, which is a great addition.

Before, Wordpress was a way to publish a blog, the admin panel being a distraction. Now, the admin panel contributes to the creative process of writing a post.

I’ve upgraded this site to Wordpress 2.5, and it is a joy to use.
