Who is ella you might ask?
Ella is the name for Wordpress 2.1. The feature set look really cool and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. to list some of the features:
- Autosave makes sure you never lose a post again.
- Our new tabbed editor allows you to switch between WYSIWYG and code editing instantly while writing a post.
- Our completely redone visual editor also now includes spell checking.
- New search engine privacy option allows you take you to indicate your blog shouldn’t ping or be indexed by search engines like Google.
- You can set any “page” to be the front page of your site, and put the latest posts somewhere else, making it much easier to use WordPress as a content management system.
- Links in your blogroll now support sub-categories and you can add categories on the fly.
- More AJAX to make custom fields, moderation, deletions, and more all faster. My favorite is the comments page, which new lets you approve or unapprove things instantly.
- Pages can now be drafts, or private.
- Our admin has been refreshed to load faster and be more visually consistent.
- A new version of the Akismet plugin is bundled.
The only issue I have with Wordpress so far is the speed. In terms of saving and publishing. Imagine having a intensive post, like this,you might want to save the post half way thru, only to have you train of thoughts interrupt by a slow saving process. Hence faster saving is good with faster MSql queries. Autosave is nice too. I do need to see that to comment more.
AJAX. I starting to like Ajax. Simple cos I am working on the Ajax portion of a particular web project at the time being. Ajax is really useful for mutiple operations on a particular form. Especially in comment moderation. So do hope over and get Wordpress 2.1 now.
Everyone loves Ella.
