WordPress 2.7

[Sonny]

Fellow WordPress users, how are you liking the new 2.7 version?

I just installed it this morning. The new look and layout are awesome. Looks like I'll be getting the newer PhotoBlog v2 also. This is going to be a killer combo!

Hrmm.. I need to look into it? Do the install scripts update the old version ok?

Just updated last night and I love the new interface. Its so purdy. So far all of my extras work with the new version.

I want that new Prophoto blog, too. I like how easy it the customization appears to be.

Nerd.

I just upgraded mine. Love the new admin interface...

Hmm... I guess I need to bother updating mine.

I'll upgrade tonight when I get back in...kinda a shame that they don't have special upgrade pricing for existing users of the ProPhoto theme....

correction: there is a place to upgrade from version 1: upgrade page

Wowzers!

The new and greatly improved ProPhoto2 Blog is amazing. I bought it this morning and immediately was excited to get my hands dirty. What took me a few days in coding the look and feel of the first ProPhoto Blog only took about 3hrs to re-create it with the second version.

There is NO CODING involved! No more sifting through pages and pages of CSS code just to change the color or size of the font. ProPhoto2 consists of drop-down boxes, color wheels, and check boxes to customize your blog. But wait, if for some strange reason you feel the need to write CSS, then the option is still there.

Like I mention earlier, ProPhoto2 combined with the new WordPress 2.7 makes this the best blogging combo out on the market. Totally newbs to seasoned bloggers will enjoy them both.

You want icing on your cake to boot? ProPhoto2 allows you to save all the changes you make to the blog into a custom profile. If you feel the need to create seasonal custom themes...go right ahead. With one click of a button, you can load each design in a matter of seconds.

I finished my family blog this morning. I'm hoping to start on our business blog tonight.


*I am in no way affiliated with either product...just dang happy when good software is fun to play with.*

Thanks for the review! I am still trying to decide which I need more: a new site or a more easily edited blog. This sounds great, and seems like it would make my life a little easier.

I'm still using WP 2.04 over on uebelhart.net , but have been thinking about updating and doing a new theme/layout.
Photopro is nice, but is a bit pricey for my tastes for a template engine for a blog. Nice concept and execution though.
