Well I love the new 2.7 dashboard, the categorization is a lot better and sensible.

Quick Edit features are just awesome… save a lot of precious time.

I agree with you Sables on the backup options. Downloading the database is the best way to save everything from your posts, comments to your WordPress settings.

The latest post on the WordPress blog has a survey on future features, one of the questions asks if you would like DB backup plugin bundle with WordPress, I think it’s a great idea. A lot of people should say yes to that option!

As for file backup, I just use cPanel and download a whole FTP backup. A included file backup module would come in handy though…

I was hoping for more customization within the dashboard. I hate having 5 recent comments showing, one or two is all that is needed. Fve takes up too much room.

Wordpress 2.7 needed a database backup feature included. The current import/export feature is crap and does not save everything that is needed for a full reinstall of WordPress. They need a wp-content folder backup feature also, saving all images, themes and media is a must.

I have been using wordpress 2.7 since the official release. Editing multiple posts has been made a easy chore since the latest update. Looking forward to trying the wordpress update feature once 2.7.1 comes out, hopefully it is a smooth process.

Another dashboard change? This is getting stupid!

WP will lose users if they continue to change the admin.

I’m all for the new dashboard design. Small learning curve but the UI is way better.
Now, what I’m most expecting is the threaded comment design. Really want to see that in action.

Nice preview article. You forgot one set of changes for the WP 2.7 settings section. You forgot to add information about the new date/time options. Besides that, great article!
