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.
