WordPress 2.5 Sneak Peek. This won’t be news to those who uses WP as it popped up in everyone’s Dashboard this week but it’s worth noting as the atrocious user interface for WordPress has always been it’s weak point compared to Movable Type and others. This looks to brings things up to scratch. Can’t wait!

About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

“the atrocious user interface for WordPress has always been it’s weak point compared to Movable Type and others”
Having used both WP and MT in equal measures over the past few weeks, I’d have to say that I only partially agree with that.
I prefer MT3 to WP, but I’ve come to the conclusion that as far as the interface is concerned, I’d take WP over MT4 any day.
WP, like MT3, is a bit clunky, but it’s functional and gets the job done. MT4 looks very slick, but just doesn’t feel right in action.
MT4 scores in other areas and I still find its templates easier to work with than WP’s, even since they became hellishly complex.
To be honest I was thinking more about comment moderation. I really miss things like being able to select a whole raft of comments with two clicks and Shift.
The main problem I have with WP is it’s a mess and daunting for new users, which is kinda my business at the moment. So this makes me happy.
