I upgraded my blogging platform to WordPress 2.5… there are some pretty big improvements over 2.3.x on the admin side, including a cleaner interface and dashboard widgets (full feature list here).
If you’re blogging, you should consider using WordPress, and if you’re using WordPress, you should upgrade to version 2.5. Of course, there will inevitably be a 2.5.1 release in the next month to fix some bug(s)… but when it only takes 5 minutes to upgrade, why miss out on the awesomeness now?
I recommend WordPress for the following reasons:
- Documentation is clear and easy-to-follow
- The community support is outstanding
- There are tons of actively-maintained, useful plugins
- WordPress is a mature product that has been battle tested on some of the most heavily trafficked blogs on the Internet.
