Comments on: WordPress 2.7 http://jasonmock.com/2008/12/13/wordpress-27/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wordpress-27 [insert something witty here] Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:45:58 +0000 hourly 1 By: Jason Mock http://jasonmock.com/2008/12/13/wordpress-27/#comment-52972 Jason Mock Sun, 21 Dec 2008 18:06:29 +0000 http://jasonmock.com/wordpress/?p=797#comment-52972 From the stand point of Wordpress being provided to those who don't have an understand of web development, I can completely understand. Whether it's a web page or an application, changing the interface always brings a learning curve that can cause a lot of anxiety for those who don't intuitively have the ability to use those apps. However, my developer side kicks in, and on that side of the fence I'm always interested in trying to improve the interface so that it is easy to user or has a 'natural flow'. In this case of Wordpress 2.7, while things have been re-arrange pretty drastically, I think they've created a little better work flow. If anything, providing the major content changes as always available toolbar items, as opposed to having to go to the "Manage" section is a big improvement. That being said though, one of my toughest critics is my wife, and she has not used it yet. I'm still interested in seeing how she reacts to the new interface...

They just get used to one layout, and now everything is in a different place. I like them to be comfortable editing their own pages, and this constant churn isn't good for them.
