I really don’t have any time to do a nice full-length post on the release of WordPress 2.7 tonight. So I’ll provide a whole bunch of links for you to get your 2.7 fix.

Matt’s official post on the WordPress development blog
WordPress weekly Podcast which will spend some time talking about the release on Friday (5pm PT, 8pm ET (noon in Sydney))
Lorelle on WordPress with some additional release info

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.
