Have You Upgrade To WordPress 2.7?

The latest version of WordPress is available for downlaod since early last month. If you have not upgrade your  WordPress to version 2.7, it is time to do so. The new version of WordPress is a major update with a new interface and lots of new features to boot.

I have waited about a month till the latest version is available through Fantastico before I make the automatic upgrade. I was initially apprehensive as I have previously have some bad experiences with major updates for WordPress.In some of the previous updates, I found some of the eseential plugins that I have been using are not compatible after the upgrading causing me lots of inconvinenece.

Luckily,  all my plugins are working fine after the latest upgrade. So if you have been sitting on the fence for some time waiting for the version 2.7 to stablize, I can safely tell you it is time for you to upgrade your WordPress.
