WordPress 2.2 is Out : Ryan's Journey

WordPress 2.2 is Out

All you WordPress users may have heard that WordPress version 2.2 has been released. One feature that was talked about, but was eventually left out until version 2.3 (maybe) is a tagging feature, which I assume is like the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin. I was hoping for this to be included in this round of updates.

I originally didn’t want to update, because it seemed as though widgets were required to use. A while back, I did a post on how widgets effected my blog. I figured out that if you empty the widget sidebar, it will read the hand coded version. Thank god!

One thing I do not like is the new way you preview your post. Which is, instead of just hitting save, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and see the preview, you now have to hit save then click on the preview link just under the title block. Well, I am mainly a keyboard user, meaning that I hardly touch the mouse when I use a computer, whether that’s for looking at a website, or general usage. The preview link is not accessible via any conventional ways. The only way you can access it, via the keyboard, is use Firefox’s find feature.

It will be interested to see what will be included, both in version 2.2.x and 2.3.
