If you’ve not tried 2.7 yet, read over the new info then give it a shot. The super-new-and-improved admin interface is well worth the upgrade!

WordPress Weekly – Usability with Jane Wells

This past Friday I joined Jeffro for another episode of WordPress Weekly. This week we had the good fortune to interview Automattic’s usability maven Jane Wells.

Jane is one of the minds behind some of the dramatic new changes to the admin interface for WordPress 2.7. Recently Jane also posted a poll and a survey to garner some feedback on the new WordPress Beta that was released on Halowe’en night.

Give this week’s show a listen and check out some of the great answers to the questions that we came up with.
