New WordPress 2.8

11 Jun

So far, it’s nice. I am having problems installing widgets in a sidebar, but I’m wondering if it’s a problem with the widgets I’m installing, and not WordPress itself.

The new feature that I think most people will adore is the ability to install themes directly from your admin panel. 2.7 had the ability to do this for widgets and plugins, but you still had to use FTP or go through your host to upload a new theme. Not anymore! I would have loved this back when I first started using WordPress, and thus didn’t make my own themes. Of course, now it’s a rather moot point, but it’s still nice they’ve added it.

Check it out HERE.

    I’ve never used WordPress, but I like Blogger. I’ll have to try it!
