Wordpress 2.1 Released
Posted by Jeremy under: Business; Computers; Web Related; del.icio.us .
I just found out today that Wordpress 2.1 was released two days ago. I made the upgrade this evening. There are some really impressive new features contained in the 2.1 release, including:
- the “tabbed editor”, which allows switching between WSIWYG & Code View
- the ability to set a PAGE as the front page of your blog, which will make Wordpress even easier to use as a CMS for normal websites
- the increase in speed of the administration portion of Wordpress 2.1 - there’s a noticeable difference
- the new auto-saving function
Visit Wordpress for a full list of Wordpress 2.1 upgrades.
The upgrade took only a few minutes after I backed up the database. It was great.
Have a look. I think you’ll like it.

Thanks for tipping me off on this, Jer.
Love the new banner shot, by the way.

We haven’t made the plunge yet. John’s been tinkering with it for quite some time now [audihertz] but we’re pretty wary about implementing new things within days of their release.
It’s just me, I don’t like change 
But I have to get used to it cause WP 2.1 (Ella) looks pretty kick ass.

@Jordan - You’re welcome for the tip, it should make your webdesign simpler going forward.
@Miss 604 - Jump! You’ll love it. It only took a few minutes to make the change after the backup was done.
