Have you guys taken the plunge yet??? I finally did. To the WordPress Dudes: Oh gosh, PLEEAASSSEE no more WordPress updates for a while, k?! I am still relatively new to WordPress, about a year ago. I have had to do seven or eight updates since then, across SIX blogs. I am soo tired of updates that I could scream.
So with that said, I’ve been trying out this new verson. It’s a complete haul of the admin dashboard. Be prepared, lol. It’s organized much better, but it’s very different and it’s taking me some time to become accustomed to it all.
The one aspect I just love is that I can reply to comments from the new Comments panel. I took a snapshot.
You can see the comment above, and the box below is open to enable me to reply to that particular comment (there is a list of more comments below the reply box that you can’t see in the snapshot). I am a lazy commenter, I admit. I read posts and comments, I think thoughts, and I always have something more to say… but going through the hassle of clicking links, reloading a new page or two, inserting information, the captcha, the reload, etc… ugh, I have to really want to say something to comment.
Well, WordPress makes it easier for me to reply to comments now. I really like it.
My WordPress upgrade went very well, no bugs or errors. I manually disabled all my plugins first, though. That’s always recommended. And I used an Automatic Upgrade Tool which went smoothly. So, have you updated yet?



I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
