So, I Upgraded to 2.7 in just a few clicks. Why? Mostly, I guess to get rid of the nag notice. *sigh* I’m sure I’ll get used to the new admin interface eventually, but right now, all it really seems to do is make it difficult to navigate to different admin tasks. Easy to write posts, but manage other aspects of the blog? Notso.
Ahh, found the issue. Was using Ozh’s Admin Drop-Down Menu plugin. Great plugin… for 2.6. Wiped out the left sidebar that is new in 2.7 (replacing the top nav bar). Still going to take some retraining, but now don’t have to type management pages into my browser’s addressbar by memory. *heh* With my memory, you might imagine some of the pages I tried to access…
Update: A new Ozh’s Admin Drop-Down Menu plugin was just made available, obviously to fix compatibility issues with WP2.7. “Obviously” because the upgraded version works fine, replaces the left sidebar in WP Admin with drop-downs–making this edit screen easier to work with, for one thing. When I buy the lil 22″ LCD screen I have my eye on, I may go back to using the sidebar, but on this lil ole 19″-er, I can use the screen real estate and pump my browser up to 150% enlargement for my tired old eyes.
