WordPress 2.5 release
WordPress "Code is Poetry"
On Saturday, March 29, 2008, WordPress 2.5 was released and this release took me by surprise. If you use WordPress then you realize how often plugins are updated and the core itself is so frequent you might as well look to the source before you reuse any code from a previous project because it will have since been outdated. One thing that really impressed me was the new user interface in the admin section which is now starting to look more of a polished over CMS system.
Either way you look at it WordPress is here to stay and will become even more prominent as a CMS and blogging software which remains free, designer and developer supported open source that is extended by people who use it the most. Our Content Management System is based on WordPress and these improvements benefit all of our customers.

hey todd,
2.5 definitely blew me away with the updates made to it. the admin side is more intuitive and the additions they made to their text editor make it a snap to not just write content but to easily add media features to the post.
of course, the features that make wordpress so great remain, such as the seo options, template based architecture, and it’s speed.
yup… it’s hot. for the life of me i don’t see why you wouldn’t use wordpress for driving your site.
