I have been working on a new site on WP 2.7 and there are some gripes. The way the have laid out the new page takes a while to get used to. The side bar navigation is a bit better but there is a lot of scrolling and does take time to find what you need.
I do like the new quick edit function under Manage Posts. This does make it easier to edit categories and tags.
New sticky post feature is a welcome addition as the old WP-Sticky plugin never worked for me and the manual tweak of changing post dates and times was way to fiddly to be worth it.
One big gripe is the lost of the edit post slug function which used to be under the Post Title. This has since disappeared, from my version at least. I can’t find it anywhere which is truly annoying.
The Polldaddy addition is a nice touch which simplifies adding polls to your blog but takes a bit of tweaking and set up.
I did find a great post identifying some of the new features here in more detail.
Am still exploring and am still trying to get over the loss of usage of some of my favorite plugins, making blogging a great deal more hassle. If you have any great finds or tips on WP2.7, please share.
