Well I just upgraded all but one of my blogs to WordPress 2.5. Yeah yeah yeah, I should have just done one and then seen how it is. But I thought it looked good but I’ve discovered a couple of things I don’t like.

I do like the new layout and look. Change is good and I never really liked the layout of the admin panel 2.3 and prior. I like this layout better. More Ajax features which are nice, mostly with the comments. The comments are handled well an so are the plugins.

I do not like how images are handles. Instead of the nice bar underneath the Write Post where you upload and select images, now it opens up an awful popup. And if you don’t have your browser full screen, you can’t see the little close x on the top. I hate hate hate that! Plus, my Flickr plugin is not working. I see no where to add flickr images. I have read the flickr plugin site, and even downloaded and installed the latest version, and still no go. Hrmph.

Also, when I edit a post from the main page, and then hit save… it used to go right back to the main page. Now it doesn’t. Just keeps me on the edit page. Just another click as I have to click on View Site again. Hrmph.

Hopefully these things will be worked out in subsequent releases. And hopefully my flickr plugin will work in the future too!
