Just installed this … I’m a big fan! Great job with the interface; I hope the automatic version updating works out.
@pat — thanks. Using the “quick reply” comments feature to reply to you — one of my favorite new features.
re: upgrading. Where are you hosted these days ? You may want to check out ( and update ) this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Core_Update_Host_Compatibility
I’m still on HostGator, so it looks like I’m all set. Awesome.
Downloaded and upgrading some of my blogs already. I usually wait for a couple of weeks for others to test new versions, but I kinda liked the new interface, so figured I’ll test it for myself this time.
Thanks, it is time to upgrade I guess
Took awhile to get used to 2.7 but it is so much quicker that previous versions. I love the ability to download and install plugins from 2.7 itself.
