Chomping at the Bit for Wordpress 2.5
On March 18th, Matt Mullenweg posted a sneak peak of Wordpress 2.5 that talked about a “customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times” and included a few screenshots of the new Dashboard, Navigation, Write and Manage Panels. Judging by the number of pingbacks (583 at time of writing), there’s a lot of excitement about the upcoming version of Wordpress.
Today, Matt tantalized us further with a short screencast that shows the new dashboard and how the gallery image uploader works.
For the adventurous, there’s also the option to download and install Release Candidate 2 of WordPress 2.5.
While I’m not that adventurous - at least not with this and my revenue-generating blogs - I’m chomping at the bit to see Wordpress 2.5 made available for upgrade through Fantastico, as I’m particularly looking forward to the one-click plugin updates that are included in the new version.

Hi Rosalind,
I’ve been on your mailing list for a long time and have received many emails from you. Right now I’ve begun setting up a blog, and coincidentally enough it is on Wordpress. I have to admit being new at this I’ve got a lot to learn. I’ve written a few posts to sort of get some practice and learn about the Wordpress blogging experience.
Eventually, I’d like to draw some traffic to the blog and even earn a bit of money at it, if that was possible. Do you have any suggestions for a quick ramp-up to get this thing rolling?
I”ve appreciated your insights in the past, even if they are more pertinent now to exactly what I’m trying to do.
Thanks,
Wayne
