Yep, I am absolutely, 100% hating the admin interface. I installed the Dashboard Editor, removed half the crap on the Dashboard’s main page, then installed the WP Tiger Admin plug-in. I like it so much better than the current WP Dashboard.

I was shocked it didn’t break mine, either. As VH said, that’s the first time I’ve done an upgrade without teaching him a new swear word.

Uh, I really don’t know, Rammer.

The downside of upgrading is that I no longer know my way around the WP Dashboard by heart, so blogging before coffee OR after martini is out of the question for a while.

Fantastico stinks. Chances are you copied over your wp-config.php file or have incorrect info in it.

Until someone comes out with an admin theme that emulates 2.3's admin interface, I'm not upgrading. I've upgraded one blog and I DESPISE the whole look and feel of 2.5. I'm also not liking how the photo uploading was changed...among other things. Lisa's last blog post..Desperate For A Good Night’s Sleep.

I have a couple of WP blogs that I’d left sitting at the 2.2.x level, mostly because every previous update broke my template customization.

But 2.5 didn’t. Perhaps they’ve learned something after all these years.

Sounds good, but do I have to get to some version of 2.x to migrate up?

Bless you, Kate … just the encouragement I needed to stop procrastinating. Fortunately I never even upgraded to 2.3.x so I assume I don’t have that technorati problem … but it’s time, nevertheless. As soon as I finish my current freelance work. And my taxes. And then I have a rehearsal the next nightk, and …

I upgraded four blogs to 2.5 using Fantastico -because I’m lazy like that- but it’s giving me this error at my pamibe host:

“Fantastico is unable to connect to your MySQL server at this time. Please contact your host for assistance.”

So I emailed my host.

I liked the color scheme at first, but now it’s getting on my nerves. Little too “Hi, look at me!”
