Dude! No way am I touching a new WordPress version! I’ve learned from my last two efforts!

Hi Richard,
I don’t know that I’ll actually use the revision or Gears features either. I do all my post editing off-line using a desktop editor and I don’t believe the revision feature works for this.

I do like some of the “small” improvements, such as theme preview and shift select for comments or posts. Not used all the time but nice to have.

For a long period prior to WP 2.5 it seemed that all the WP updates were just bug fixes but since 2.5 they seem to be adding in new features. It’s good to see that.

Take care my friend!

Hey Earl,

I watched that video last night too. While I probably won’t find the revision feature too useful (it is neat though), I think the Gears option might be very useful to me. I find editing my blog can be a little sluggish sometimes. But of course I’m not sure if it’s my hosting or what. Editing the screencasters blog (which is WordPress too, but on a different host) is much snappier than my own personal one. Maybe gears can help level the field in that respect.

I’ll be upgrading likely later this week.
