In my last post I promised a “first impressions” post of WordPress 2.5 Release Candidate 1; however, after a few paragraphs, I realized that for the most part I was outlining the same points outlined in the WP 2.5 Sneek Peek post. Therefore, I have decided against writing the promised post and instead make two lists containing the “Good” and “Not So Good” of WordPress 2.5.

Good

• Text Editor.
• Comments (approving, spamming, etc.).
• Posts and Pages Management.

Not So Good

• Overall tidy-ness of design.
• Media Library.
• Dashboard.

What do you think?

Obviously this is a one man’s opinions, mine. I would love to hear what you think. Is this the WordPress that you were waiting for? Do you think 2.5 RC 1 is not quite what you dreamt of? Leave your thoughts and let a new era of WordPress begin.

Well, it seems like forever since my last post. In any case, I have been busy collecting a great list of web design related post this last week. A lot of great reads and very interesting and exciting news. From IE8’s new approach to dealing with web standards to WordPress’s 2.5 Release Candidate 1. This list should keep you busy for a while. Please feel free to comment and share your own finds.

The List

1. 11 Accessibility Tips
2. How To: Create a Tabbed Box with YUI Tabs
3. 6 Web Design Tips From Leonardo Da Vinci
4. Subversion for Designers
5. PS Brushes - A Really Great Source of Photoshop Brushes
6. Favicon Episode 6: Black, Abstract and Hand-Drawing

Upcoming Posts

As I mentioned on my last post, this last week was a busy one for me. Nevertheless, any free time I had I used it thinking of new things that I can blog about. In any case, I have decided that my next post will be about WordPress 2.5. I have been using it for about a week now and I have a few things to say about the new version of this great blogging (CMS?) tool. Stay posted.

Sorry for not writing the usual Monday Roundup post yesterday, but these last couple of days have been hectic. I had some personal problems to tend to. In any case, I promise next week’s roundup will make up for the one lost this week.
