In the recent 2.7.1 update, you can now upgrade to the lastest wordpress version without having to download, and re-upload. Just got to make sure that you download from the remote view before uploading anything. Another great feature in 2.7 is the ability to customise the screen by removing things from the Dashboard and Write pages. This is great for setting up user accounts for clients, you can remove the complicated parts like excerpt, tags etc. It took me a while to adapt to 2.7, but there are several new features that are fantastic.

We mainly do this for professional companies and small businesses so itis not often that something creative comes along. I love this site, and it has made me want to have a go at designing my own completely through wordpress. Do you have any tips for me? Oo and also the brand new Admin area is beatifully layed out. To be fair, it did look a bit poo before, so i am glad they jazzed it up!

Have you used MT before? If so, how do you feel it compares to WP? I'm curious. I’ve been using Movable Type for a couple of months now. Have you used MT before?

I didn't have enough time to really dig into it, and it wasn't a super urgent matter. Thanks for sharing this, though. Will definitely come in handy. Ah, very nice!

Though the customizability in EE is very nice, it just can't match the insane amount of plugins and support for WordPress... and with this new WP-Admin interface, I'm very seriously considering switching back.

It doesn't take a lot getting used too, even though it may seem like a major change at first impression. Most tasks just seem easier in the new UI. I’m also liking the new wp-admin very much!

I've logged in to my 2.7 admin on multiple machines and the dashboard always stays the same. I’m pretty sure your preferences are stored in the database.
