Upgrade Complete!
Everything should be up and running now. Well, that’s a qualified everything. Some of my plug-ins didn’t survive the upgrade, most notably the spell-checker plugin, which the author has little interest in updating.
I also decided not to update my own personal themes for now; I’m not really thrilled with how they look at this point. I may or may not put together a new theme sometime, but for now I’m sticking with the default theme.
I’m telling you though, they really did a nice job updating the admin side of the WordPress interface. It looks wonderful and it’s very easy to use. For one thing, adding categories can be done without switching from the Write Post page, so I’ll probably be adding more categories in the future. It’s very slick and AJAX-y. I like it.
If you see anything that looks out of place out there, please let me know. Thanks!

You could bring back a comment preview that really previews with my plugin. After all, it was inspired by the hack you used to use.

I had remembered our email conversation about the preview hack, but I couldn’t remember where to find the plug-in. I’ll have to think about that; personally don’t use previews all that often unless they’re the live previews like the one I’m using right now. It’s nice to not have to go through that extra step, ya know?
What’s the advantage of making people click on another button to get their preview as opposed to a live preview?

The live preview isn’t exact. For example, it doesn’t create smilies, filter profanity, or represent any other custom filters you might have set up, so some people’s comments will appear differently than they expected.
But it’s certainly better than nothing.
