Well I have upgraded all my blogs to the new version of WordPress…Version 2.8.

I really like the new features, particularly the way it handles Widgets. That is much better than the previous versions. You now can see all the Sidebars at the same time and just drag and drop to whichever sidebar you want. Another good feature is the ability to drag and drop an old widget to the inactive widgets pane so you can save it in case you want to go back to it later.

There are lots of other features too, like the ability to choose 1, 2, 3,or 4 columns on the dashboard.

It also seems to be much faster than the previous version.

I had absolutely no problems whatsoever with the upgrade. It went as smooth as possible. I did however, make backups of my database, plugins, themes and wp-config.php file just in case. While I did not need the backups, it was good peace of mind to know I had them if I needed them.

I am still learning some of the new features as I play with them.

I moderate a Learn WordPress Live conference each Tuesday at 2:00 PM EST. If you are interested, just send a black email to lwpl@aweber.com and then confirm you email address when you get the confirmation email and I will send the login information. It is free and we would be glad to have you.
