Just updated my WP blog to 2.7. The update took only minutes via DreamHost’s One-Click Installs, and the result is visually stunning. Everything in the Dashboard is clear and invites exploring. Things can be moved around, shown or hidden. Its manageable surface hides the complexity of the database. In fact, it looks so good, I might want to start using it to write my blog entries, rather than using a desktop client. It definitely looks better than ecto, which I just bought a copy yesterday. I am glad I decided to use separate blogging platforms–WordPress and Movable Type–for my two blogs. They teach me their differences and similarities, their strengths and the weaknesses, their pros and cons. It forces me to learn beneath the surface, and that’s always a good thing.
