WordPress 2.8 Well Worth the Wait

I just upgraded to WordPress 2.8 this morning. I must say I am very impressed with the new features and thoughtful layout options.

A few of my favorites include:

• The ability to browse and install themes from within your WordPress admin. No more FTP. (Yipee!!)
• User friendly Widget layout. Finally you can see all sidebars and all widgets at the same time. Plus, you have unlimited number of instances per each widget. Meaning? You can install the same widget into two different sidebars.
• With more advanced Screen Options you have greater control of your WP Admin workspace.

Check it out for yourself. Here’s a video that covers some of most significant changes in this new version of WordPress.
