Most of the Wordpress community is excited about the up and coming release of version 2.7. After playing around with the RC1 that you can download, I think it’ll take a bit to get used to the new admin layout. I am a creature of habit after all, and I hate having everything switched up on me. But I’m sure I’ll all come to love it after I get my hands dirty with it.
