Via this note from AllForces today, there's info about the latest beta release from one of the most popular PHP-based blogging tools out there - Wordpress.
It's great to see WordPress advancing and my hope is that the interface gets more user friendly as new versions come out. And perhaps maybe one day, in the not so distant future my WordPress Dashboard would show relevant info about my Blog, is that too much to ask?
The first Beta version of WordPress 2.0 (previously known as 1.6) is out. I just downloaded it and I’m testing it locally to see what’s new, broken etc since it's still in beta. The interface is much leaner now and it's sporting a new RichText editor with a global image uploader and browser that requires no plugins.
As a reminder, this release is stil in Beta, so it's not a good idea to run on a production site, but it's still find to play...
