This morning as usual I opened my mail box and there were few updates from Monika’s easywordpress blog. This is one of the blogs I added to my list of RSS subscriptions recently.

The updates on Wordpress 2.5 are good enough to attract me and read the complete article

Wordpress 2.5 is ready to be downloaded with some cool features in it that I liked.

The cool part about the new writing screen is that it anticipates the natural flow in which we write and will remember the way we leave it. So next time we come back, the same environment welcomes us.

I am excited to download and try it but don’t want to play with this blog at least. I would use another travel tips website to check out new upgrades and may become a part of wordpress testers.

If you would like to download & install the wordpress 2.5 release candidate 1, go ahead. Thanks Monika, for writing on this.

This is still in beta version though. I will try it on a test domain but hold of for completed version before updating my main blog.

I’m not planning to switch my blog to WP 2.5 for some time. There still might be some bugs and such… I think I will wait about two months until it is tested and stable and then I’ll give it a try

I have mixed feelings about the update. I want some of the new features, but I know it never fails there are some bugs that need worked out. Update now, and update again later? Or just update later?

I just hope that all the plugins work with it alright

I think I will wait for 2.5 to go into STABLE mode before I use it. Like you, I don’t want to mess up my current WP blog. I still have loads to improve!

Ok folks. I have just swithed to Wordpress 2.5 (I know I said I would wait for few months but I couldn’t wait :D)… and it seems quite good. The switch from 2.3. to 2.5 was painless and fast.

I have now seen and help two people fix an irregularity in in WP2.5

When upgrading at least for some users it writes code or does something funky to installed themes. In one case a sidebar disappeared and the other case it was a footer.

It is a good idea if you are upgrading to 2.5 it is wise to keep a zipped copy of your theme locally and to switch to the default theme during the upgrade. Either way you should be protected

I’ve tried the wordpress 2.5, the design is quite impressive, I don’t know about the security, but most people said, it is improved largely compared to the previous version
