Improvements on Wordpress 2.5, nice details!
Wordpress is a greet blog tool that I have been using for some time. The new version 2.5 has some improvements, specially on design.
1. Default color. By default the old Wordpress interface used to come with a horrible strong blue. The new one comes with a web2.0 pastel palette. This is something that our eyes can be happy about.
2. Wording. If a feature or button is not labeled properly users are going to have a hard time finding it or discovering what this feature is for. An example is the "Presentation" tab on the old wordpress administration that was hiding the design-related features of the blog. I remember having some trouble to find this features the first time I used Wordpress. Now the tab is called "Design". Great!
3. Organization. A good little move to improve usability was to reorganize the menu. Write, Manage, Design and Comments are on the left, the rest was move to another corner. This puts the important stuff together and makes the administration page look simpler.
